The President of the Network of University Legal Aid Institutions (NULAI) Nigeria, Professor Ernest Ojukwu, SAN, has voiced his opposition to the call for changes to the nation’s Constitution.

In a recent interview with Sunday Vanguard, Ojukwu asserted that Nigeria’s problems stem from its leaders, not its Constitution.

Ojukwu argued that despite the country’s wealth of laws, the culture of dishonesty and selfishness perpetuated by its leaders has been the primary obstacle to Nigeria’s development. He emphasized that until Nigeria’s administrators take appropriate action, a new Constitution will not resolve the country’s challenges.

“Surely there are changes in the Constitution that will benefit the nation. But such changes will only become useful if the humans that use them are sincere and honest,” Ojukwu stated. “The problem of Nigeria is not the Constitution or the structure, or laws and rules or systems.”

The NULAI Nigeria President further stressed that the fundamental issue lies with the people who govern the country and its inhabitants. “There is the culture that has taken root that things must be done dishonestly and selfishly. A new constitution cannot change or transform the country to glory unless the humans called Nigerians act sincerely. Nothing that the actor controls can transform unless the actor transforms,” he added.

Ojukwu’s comments come amidst ongoing discussions about potential constitutional reforms in Nigeria. While some argue that constitutional changes are necessary for the country’s progress, Ojukwu maintains that the focus should be on the integrity and sincerity of those in power.
