Under the military regime in Nigeria, state enactments are known as "edicts." Edicts are laws or decrees issued by the military government that have the force of law in a particular state. Edicts are usually promulgated by the military administrator or governor of the state, and they can cover a wide range of topics such as taxes, criminal offenses, and land use regulations. Unlike normal laws that are passed by the legislature, edicts are not subject to legislative scrutiny and can be changed or revoked by the military government at any time.
