In Nigeria, section 2 of Act 3 of 2011 (https://edit.laws.africa/works/ng/act/2011/3/) reads as follows (I've paraphrased slightly):

Section 6 of the Constitution is altered in subsection (5) by inserting immediately after the existing paragraph (c) a new paragraph "(cc)"―

"(cc) the National Industrial Court;".

To make the amendment: insert the new paragraph (cc) in section 6(5) of the Constitution, after the existing paragraph (c).

The annotation should tell us:

• what the change was: the insertion of a new paragraph (cc)

• how it came about: by section 2 of Act 3 of 2011.

Section 6 of the Constitution as amended would then look something like this:

6. Judicial powers

(5) This section relates to—

…

(c) existing paragraph c;

(cc) the National Industrial Court;

[paragraph (cc) inserted by section 2 of Act 3 of 2011]

(d) existing paragraph d;
