Abstract
Due to the ineffectiveness of the extant regulatory framework (not limited to home
country, host country and international law) governing the activities of multinational
corporations (MNCs), new regulatory paradigms have been advocated by scholars.
Arguably, the African Union (AU) (and its mechanisms) can be the basis of MNC
regulation in Africa. However, regulation of the activities of MNCs operating in Africa
appears not to be among the major or pressing priorities of the African Union (AU) and
its institutions. There is no normative and institutional framework at the AU level
regulating the activities of MNCs in Africa. There are, however, moves to design
measures to redress this anomaly. This article will focus on the development of recent
strategies by the AU and its institutions to “regulate” the activities of MNCs in Africa
and its implications in Nigeria.
