Nigeria has been ranked as one of the countries with the lowest respect for
the rule of law in the world.
The World Justice Project (WJP) in its 2014 Rule of Law Index released last
Thursday, ranked 99 countries out of which Nigeria placed 93 close to war
ravaged Afghanistan and insurgent-prone Pakistan, which ranked 98 and 96
respectively.
Botswana and Ghana were among African counties ranked better in the
index, standing at 25 and 37 respectively.
Apart from the overall ranking where Nigeria placed 93, the country did not
fare well under the eight individual factors which were used as parameters for
the overall ranking.
