Due to the ineffectiveness of the extant regulatory framework (not limited to home country, host country and international law) governing the activities of multinational corporations ( MNC s), new regulatory paradigms have been advocated by scholars. Arguably, the African Union ( AU ) (and its mechanisms) can be the basis of MNC regulation in Africa. However, regulation of the activities of MNC s operating in Africa appears not to be among the major or pressing priorities of the AU and its institutions. There is no normative and institutional framework at the AU level regulating the activities of MNC s in Africa. There are, however, moves to design measures to redress this anomaly. This article will focus on the development of recent strategies by the AU and its institutions to ‘regulate’ the activities of MNC s in Africa and its implications in Nigeria.

规范跨国公司在尼日利亚的活动：以非洲联盟为例？

由于现行的规制框架（不限于母国，东道国和国际法）对跨国公司（MNC）的活动无效，学者们提出了新的规制范式。可以说，非洲联盟（AU）（及其机制）可以成为非洲跨国公司监管的基础。但是，对跨国公司在非洲活动的活动进行监管似乎并不是非盟及其机构的主要优先事项之一。在非盟一级没有规范跨国公司在非洲活动的规范和体制框架。但是，已经采取了一些设计措施来纠正这种异常。
