The book Legal and other Issues in Repatriating Nigeria's Looted Artefacts enumerates the various means of repatriating Nigeria's illicitly exported artefacts. The book hopes to ignite the interest of all in how to use the acclaim of Nigeria's splendid cultural patrimony to kick-start a momentum that will instil patriotism in Nigerians. The book reveals that the available laws to aid repatriation are skewed in favour of the nations in possession thus making it an onerous task to repatriate these stolen artefacts. However the book expresses the hope that some arrangement can be reached by all concerned that will at least make Nigeria and other source nations have some proprietary rights over their cultural property. The author, Babatunde E. Adebiyi is Legal Adviser to Nigeria's National Commission for Museums and Monuments. He has written extensively on laws relating to cultural issues. His other works include Tourism Development in Nigeria: Another Approach and Branding Culture.
