- Abstract
The African Regional Centre for Space Science and Technology Education in English (ARCSSTEE), Nigeria, has been an Institution offering the best possible education, research and application programs, opportunities and experience to participants from the English-speaking African countries in all of its programs. The Centre which initial focus is on the core discipline of remote sensing and geographic information systems, meteorological satellite applications, satellite communications and geo-positioning systems, and space and atmospheric sciences, has also been actively involved in space law education and dissemination in Nigeria. This work focuses on the role ARCSSTEE has been playing in space law education and dissemination in Nigeria. It gives a brief history of the Centre and the role of United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs in its programs. It discusses in detail some of the Space Law projects targeted at the Faculty of Law of the Obafemi Awolowo University and the Space Law module taken by the participants of the nine-month Post-graduate Diploma Program at the Centre. It further talks on the challenges the Centre is facing in the execution of the projects. It gives a conclusion and recommendations.
