RIGHTS AGAINST ADMINISTRATIVE
INJUSTICE AND MAL-ADMINISTRATION IN NIGERIA
BACKGROUND
Hon. Chief Justice J.V. Milvain of the
trial division of the Supreme court of Albarat, Canada delivering
judgement on 6th January 1990 in the case of “Feldbrugge V. Netherland
A/100/1986 where the complainant was refused the payment of his social benefit
after he fell sick and was retired as a result of ill health – held that the right to
continue to receive benefit after sickness is valid under the law of insurance and
should apply. In the Court of Human Right, UK Parliamentary ombudsman Re:
Ombudsman Act Canada captured the basic purpose for the
establishment of the ombudsman when he said... the basic purpose of an ombudsman is the
provision of a watchdog designed to
look into the entire working of
administrative laws...” 1 Therefore, the worldwide popularity of
the Ombudsman Institution as a significant part of contemporary
governance is certain without question. A research conducted by Dr. V. Ayeni of
the Commonwealth Secretariat revealed that at the end of 1999, at least 102
countries had established the office at governmental level worldwide. Within
the commonwealth, 38 of its 54 members now have an Ombudsman office
including its four developed
countries and 22 of the 32 so-called
small states including Botswana. Presently, 29 of Africa’s 54 countries
have governmental Ombudsman offices2. From the above premise vis-a-vis the
goal of ombudsman, the decision to establish it in Nigeria cannot be
overemphasized. It was established in 1975 with specific power and limitations.
