In the face of Nigeria’s evolving democratic journey, the discourse around federalism remains not just relevant, but urgent.
How is power structured in our federal arrangement?
Are the current tiers of government promoting equity, justice, and development—or stifling them?
What lessons can we learn from the past, and what frameworks can we build for a more functional, accountable future?
These are the pressing questions the Justice Aderemi Annual Lecture Series (JAALS) seeks to answer as it convenes an exceptional panel of leaders, legal experts, and policy influencers to unpack the nuances of federalism and power distribution in Nigeria.
