Question on: JAMB Government - 2024

Public corporations in Nigeria are typically established by an Act of Parliament. This is because:

• Act of Parliament: This is the standard legislative process for creating new entities or organizations with specific powers and functions, including public corporations. An Act of Parliament provides the legal framework, powers, and responsibilities of the corporation.
• Executive Order: Executive orders are usually used for administrative matters within the executive branch and are not the primary method for establishing independent public corporations.
• Order-in-Council: This is not a common method used in Nigeria for establishing public corporations.
• Judicial Review: Judicial review involves the courts examining the actions of the government or other bodies to ensure they are lawful, not the process of establishing a public corporation.
