Jurisdiction of state courts in respect of federal causes

Section 286(2) · 1999 Constitution (2004 edition)

What Constitution says

(2) Nothing in the provisions of this section shall be construed, except in so far as other provisions have been made by the operation of sections 299 and 301 of this Constitution, as conferring jurisdiction as respects Federal causes or Federal offences upon a court presided over by a person who is not or has not been qualified to practice as a legal practitioner in Nigeria.

This is the 1999 Constitution as published in 2004. Later amendments aren't included yet, so a section may have changed since.
