dc.description.abstractThe right to education is not justiciable in Nigeria by virtue of it being included in Chapter II of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) (CFRN 1999) as a directive principle of state policy. This is evidenced in the case of Badejo v. Federal Ministry of Education, where the applicant claimed that as a result of the discriminatory conduct of the respondents she was denied her right and the chance to be considered for admission into one of the Federal government colleges in Nigeria. Her application as well as her appeal was dismissed by the High Court and the Court of Appeal.en_US
