Words on Law, Service & Society

It is important to note that this is the second edition of this book. As I rightly pointed out in the first edition, the choice of the title and the subject matter was not accidental. Rather, it was informed by my observations of the unhealthy state of labour relations within Nigeria's industrial sector.

At the time I conceived this book, there was a glaring imbalance in the relationship between employers of labour across various sectors and the employees who provide their services. This disparity highlighted the need for a more comprehensive understanding of labour and employment law and the legal protections available to both parties.

In Restructuring Nigeria: The Way Forward, legal luminary and former Governor of Rivers State, Sir Celestine Ngozichim Omehia, delves into the nation's complex political landscape. Drawing from his extensive experience in governance and law, Omehia provides a comprehensive analysis of Nigeria's historical and contemporary issues. He offers actionable insights and strategies aimed at fostering unity, equitable development, and sustainable democracy. This book is an essential read for policymakers, scholars, and citizens invested in Nigeria's future

This book, with the intriguing title, A Right to be Wrong, by Celestine Omehia, a lawyer/politician, is about the Supreme Court decision in Amaechi v. Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) [2007] 18 NWLR (Pt 1065) 105. The decision must go down in history as one of the most amazing decisions ever handed down by a court of law in a democratic polity founded on the rule of law. The decision is amazing because it makes a mockery of the lofty principles and ideals of democracy, constitutionalism, and justice which it professes to affirm, uphold, and apply.
