Notes Copy retrieved from the FAO FAOLEX database; the RONLAW (ronlaw.gov.nr) link for the same Act returns the database web app rather than the PDF to a direct download. Certified 20 August 2024 and in force on certification (s. 2). Later instruments cite a section 9(7) and section 31 that are not in this text, so the Act has been amended since; the amending Act was not found.
