With a lot of Nigeria's public documents, accessibility is a huge concern. Getting the documents is hard, and when successfully obtained, they are in formats like PDF which are difficult to search and make use of.

Because of this, I have embarked on a project to compile the 1999 Nigerian constitution (complete) and Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (in-progress) in usable, editable formats. Not for my personal use, but for the use of the public.

Constitution: https://github.com/mykeels/nigerian-constitution
Laws: https://github.com/mykeels/nigerian-laws

I started with the constitution, because it is the contract that defines who we are as Nigerians, and our responsibility to our Nation.

I am embarking on the laws project, because we as citizens need a way to search and track the laws that we have to live by. They are so many, and a lot of them do not exist in pubic records. If we do not begin now, we'll find ourselves living by laws that are inhumane and not know how we got there.

They are on GitHub, because it provides an open platform for collaboration, so if you have access to missing laws, you can indicate and help to add them.

Let's work together to build a country our children will be proud to live in.

GOD Bless Nigeria!

Good work
