As drone technology continues to gain global traction, Nigeria’s drone industry is experiencing rapid growth. However, in contrast to jurisdictions such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Ghana, Nigeria’s 2023 Civil Aviation Regulations remain limited in scope.

Currently, there is no judicial precedent in Nigeria addressing critical issues such as privacy violations, drone-related accidents and enforcement of regulatory breaches.

This publication, authored by TEMPLARS Partner, Emmanuel Gbahabo and Associates, Nafisa Haliru and Ruqayyatu Umar, examines the growth of Nigeria’s drone sector.

It highlights key regulatory shortcomings and offers practical recommendations for legal and policy reform to ensure safe, accountable and innovation-driven drone operations.
