Message from the HOD
Dear students , I specially welcome you to the Department of Public Law, Faculty of Law of our noble institution, National Open University of Nigeria.
Although, Faculty of Law runs only one programme, the various departments are still important and are created for administrative and convenience purposes. This is to further enhance the output of the lecturers in the Faculty and to help our students perform optimally during their course of study. The Department of Public Law collaborates with other departments to ensure quality delivery and provide conducive academic environment for students of law in National Open University of Nigeria.
It is the aim of the Department to compliment the efforts of the management of the University by employing every avenue available to ensure we turn out quality, competent and self-reliant graduates every year. We therefore, take facilitation of the courses in the department serious and urge our students not to toy with the opportunity being offered by the University in creating the platform for improved online facilitation.
Your overall and in particular, academic success is our priority in the Department and we will do everything within our reach to help you shine and make National Open University of Nigeria proud.

Public law is the aspect of law that governs relations between legal persons and a government as well as, between different institutions within a state. Public law also regulates the relationships among different branches of governments, and between persons of influence in society.
Public law consists of constitutional law, administrative law, taxation law as well as criminal law. It also includes all procedural law. Public law differs from private law in that, while it governs issues that affect the entire society, private laws are concerned with relationships between individuals within the society.
In the undergraduate level, there is no specialization in a particular aspect of law. Law students are therefore required to be conversant with every aspect of civil law.
