ETHICAL AND
LEGAL ISSUES IN BOOK PUBLISHING IN NIGERIA
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Book is seen as a catalyst for mental growth and
social integration. Book is a medium of mass
communication which propels effective utilization of
other media. It is also a fountain for national integration and development,
the grand index of technology, government, politics, religion, economy ,
sociology, medicine, engineering to mention but a few [Awoniyi, 1979].The book
as elucidated by Kalejaye and Akangbe (2007),described it as a multi-faceted, dynamic product and a
monumental asset of every society. They opine;
“ It is (the book) a veritable source of information
to the teachers and students, a gold mine of knowledge for researchers and
scholars and a fountain of pleasure and leisure to general readers. Books are
indices of progress, pivots of stability, catalysts for social development as
well as springboards of advancement and galvanisers to breakthrough.”
The impacts of book in literacy development is
unquantifiable and this is why the degree of development in a nation can be
strictly attached to its degree of literacy which book stimulates. So, a
developed society is a book glued society, a developing society is a less book
conscious society. Therefore, book publishing plays a significant role in the
growth of a nation. Through book publishing, records as well as the academic
information and theories of those education legends like Aristotle, Socrates,
Decartes would not have been noted for posterity but lost to humanity.
Moreover, publishing is an intellectual and social responsibility for keeping
human activities for posterity. According to Nyeko (1991);
“It is the process of producing for dissemination;
book, films, computer programmes, records, Newspapers, periodicals, discs,
bulleting, magazines and other literacy materials”
Thus, publishing is a generic term used to describe
the process of producing literacy and information materials for public utility
[Carter and Pattis, 2001] . It becomes meaningfully focused whenever it is
contextualized. Pathetically, publishing has come a long way in Nigeria, to be
précised it commenced about 162 years ago when the pressybitarian floated the
historic printing press in 1846 (Omu, 1978). Regrettably, the industry has been
bedevilled by various challenges inspite of its grown in size and structure.
Today, more than ever before as kalejaye and akangbe (2007) agrees that it has
more formidable constraints to wrest with. Based on this premise, this paper
examines and explores the avalanche of problems which undermine and cripple the
prospects of the industry and the need to tackle those constraints headlong by
finding lasting solution to them as the
writer aspires to do in thepaper’s
recommendations.
1.2
Statement of the problem
This research may have been conducted in the past.This
work gives further explanations and analysis on the ethical and legal issues in
book publishing in Nigeria
1.3 Sources
of law
Sambe and Ikon (2004) avers that sources of law are
manifold as there are definitions of law itself. It could mean the ultimate
origin of the whole body of a legal system. In other words the origin from
which the system derives its validity could be the electorate, a special body,
the general will of the people or the will of a dictator. In this sense, a
source of law is always formal. The term source of law may be used to mean the
historical origin of the rule e.g. law of the common law is the historical
origin of the English law, for the origin of many rules of English law may be
traced back to the common law. Hence we also have historical source of law.
There is also a material or literary source which
means a text containing the rules of the law e.g. statute, books, reports,
textbooks etc. Sources of Law could also mean the foundation of authority of a
rule of law. i.e. the origin from which a legal rule derives its authority.
This is known as legal source. It is the means through which a rule forms part
of the body of law, e.g. legislation and judiciary precedents. From the above
background, the search for the source(s) of law may lead one to investigate
from where law comes i.e. where and how the legal rules which today govern
human conduct in the society originated. In this context, the main sources of
Nigerian law are:
Primary or principal sources:
i. English
Law
ii. Nigerian
Legislation
iii. Nigerian
case law/ judiciary precedent.
iv. Customary
law
Secondary or subsidiary sources:
i. Customs
ii. Opinions
of texts – writers.
iii. Law
Reports
iv. Records
of Statutes.
1.4 Purpose
