RE- EVALUATING THE JUVENILE/CHILD JUSTICE SYSTEM IN NIGERIA

The Institute has immortalized through its public lectures eminent Nigerian jurists who during their lifetime made monumental contributions to the development of the law. One of such jurists was the late Professor Jadesola Akande. Topics of previous lectures traditionally focused on constitutional law and the rights of vulnerable groups. This year’s lecture which examines the Juvenile Justice System in Nigeria is delivered by Professor Oluyemisi Bamgbose, a Professor of Criminal Law, Criminology, Law of Evidence and Comparative Criminal Law and Procedure at the University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria.
