Addressing Nigerian Economic Challenges through the Instrumentality of the Law
Main Article Content
Abstract
“Under the new dispensation, lawyers should be more involved in political and social engineering. Being the
light bearer by virtue of their special training, they should bear the light at every dark enclave to show hidden
attempts at the lawyer in misgovernance, misrule, and maladministration. The new dispensation must be dogged
and determined fighter for freedom and equity and to ensure that the ordinary citizen is protected from
threatened abuse of his fundamental rights through reckless and arrogant exercise of state powers the lawyers
should take their pride of place in society. They should jettison the garb of eggheads living like strangers in a
splendid isolation in his own society oblivious of important development in the economic and social affairs of
his country. The lawyers` role in the new policy should be that of an active participant in the platonic search for
common good”. Aare Afe Babalola, SAN
