1. Long title:

The long title forms part of the enactment. It comes at the beginning of the enactment. It contains the essence of the enactment. It can be used in the interpretation of the Legislation and ascertaining the scope of the Legislation. It cannot be used to modify the interpretation of words that are plain and unambiguous. It is generally printed in bold letters or capital letters. Long title is not used by Laws made by military regimes. See Osawuru v. Ezeiruka (1978) 6 & 7 S.C. 135 at 149. See also Re Wykes 91961) Ch 229 at 242.

It must be noted that the way it is drafted will depend on whether what is being drafted is a Bill, an Act of the National Assembly, a State Law or a Bill of a State's House of Assembly.
