Advances in Government Policy and Regulatory Communication: Nigeria Customs Service Perspective

Abdullahi Aliyu Maiwada — 2025-07-17

Effective communication is central to the success of government policy implementation and regulatory enforcement, particularly in complex governance systems such as Nigeria. This paper explores the advances in government policy and regulatory communication from the perspective of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), a key agency responsible for trade facilitation and revenue generation, suppression of smuggling and implementation of government fiscal policies. Drawing on contemporary scholarly literature and practical case studies, the paper examines how the NCS has increasingly adopted strategic communication tools, such as digital platforms, stakeholder engagement, public awareness campaigns, and media framing, to improve transparency, facilitate compliance, and enhance institutional credibility. It highlights key initiatives, including the implementation of the Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR), the border closure policy, and the ongoing trade modernisation project, as evidence of the agency’s evolving communication practices. The paper also discusses the challenges that continue to undermine effective regulatory communication, including policy inconsistency, infrastructural constraints, misinformation, and limited professional communication capacity. The paper concludes that while significant progress has been made, sustained improvement in regulatory communication within the NCS requires institutional reforms, enhanced inter-agency coordination, and the professionalisation of communication functions to foster inclusive, accountable, and efficient public governance.

Procedural Legal Responsibility: A New Reading

Vladimir Valentinovich Kozhevnikov — 2025-07-18

Paying attention to various options for understanding legal liability, the position in which legal liability is interpreted as the application of measures of state coercion is recognized as more preferable. Among its features, special attention is paid to such a feature, according to which it entails negative consequences, the imposition of new additional obligations on offenders. This feature should be especially taken into account when differentiating measures of legal (criminal procedural) liability and protective measures (restorative criminal procedural measures). Procedural legal liability is considered as a complex (integrated) legal institution consisting of norms of both branches of procedural and substantive law. In turn, criminal procedural liability, using specific legal norms as an example, is analyzed as a sub-institute of procedural liability. The purpose of this study was to form the author's understanding of criminal procedural liability. The hypothesis is the statement of the fact that in most cases procedural liability is unreasonably understood as one of the types of legal liability
