The rule of law is essential to attaining good governance and socioeconomic stability in Nigeria, according to Dr. ChiChi Aniagolu-Okoye, Regional Director of Ford Foundation West Africa.

During the 2024 Annual Law Week of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Enugu State Chapter, Dr. Aniagolu-Okoye stated that bolstering the rule of law will help tackle Nigeria’s present socio-economic issues, including as a slowing GDP growth rate and rising inflation.

Dr. Aniagolu-Okoye stated that “socio-economic development is built upon the rule of law.” In order to draw in investments, foster economic growth, and lessen poverty, it ensures equality, equity, human rights, and the defense of fundamental liberties.

A rule of law-governed society is essential to socio-economic development, which includes social conditions of equality, steady economic growth, the assurance of fundamental liberties, employment and investment opportunities, access to social services, and predictability in terms of social order and security. This is because for residents and investors to have faith in the ability to prosper economically, the laws governing business, service delivery, and human relations must be viewed as just and genuine.
