The workshop had 2 main objectives: firstly, to introduce space law to Nigerian lawyers through a lecture and open round table discussion, and secondly to prepare the Nigerian team competing in the African Introductory Round of the Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Court Competition. A questionnaire was developed to form the basis of the open round table discussion. The purpose of the questionnaire, the lecture and the open discussion with Nigerian lawyers was to seek a common Nigerian legal view on some issues relevant to space activities in Africa.
