Abstract: | This paper examines the modalities of constitutional justice in Nigeria within the framework of notions such as the separation of powers, the rule of law, democracy and democratic governance. The author argues that necessary elements for attaining constitutional justice include, amongst others, an independent judiciary and access to justice. Corruption constitutes a major challenge to the Nigerian judiciary. Notes, ref. [ASC Leiden abstract] |
