This paper examines the gap left by Nigeria’s lack of a comprehensive legal framework to regulate and oversee the surrogacy industry. The popular Latin maxim “ubi societa ubi jus”, which translates to “where there is society, there is law” in English, highlights the value and significance of laws that govern the community. It goes beyond simply enacting regulations for community members; it also includes enacting laws to control the types of interactions and relationships that occur within it. Despite being unpopular, surrogacy is becoming more and more common due to several circumstances, which makes the establishment of a legal framework to regulate the practice necessary. This study examines the extent of the gap caused by the absence of a legal framework. It issues a call to action for the National Assembly and other pertinent parties regarding the significance of such legislation.
