ABSTRACT

This work investigated the Issues and challenges facing the rule of law and separation of powers in Nigeria . Thus for the purpose of this study, four objectives were drawn to guide the study. The study adopted the exploratory and historical design. Findings from the study reveal that Upholding the rule of law and adherence to the principles of justice play an important role in the economic and social development of a Nation, this is because rule of law and justice to all guarantee peace, security and stability. For a Nation to be ranked among the committee of civilized and developed Nations, rule of law and principles of justice must be uprevheld. This work reaffirms that the abuse of state power cannot thrive in Nigeria if the doctrine of separation of powers and rule of law and independence of the judiciary are strictly observed and religiously adhered to, and requisite checks and balance of state powers stringently maintained and respected. Assuming that these principles were rigorously adhered to in our country, Nigeria, the practice of democratic governance would have been well entrenched in our nation. The study recommends that the Nigerian federation should, or rather must add to the list of issues relevant to a clear and fair play of the rule of law as a check to political abuse or excessiveness, biased legal parallelism establishing a law for the rich and that for the poor and inequality in the administration of justice and the grant or denial of human rights and freedom which have become characteristic of Nigeria‟s system of government.
