The Convener, Northern Elders Forum, Professor Ango Abdullahi, has said the concept and practice of justice as a foundational principle is the most difficult challenge that confronts the country.
He noted that virtually all communities and aggrieved parties in Nigeria point to the absence of justice in the manner they relate with each other or the Nigerian State.
Speaking at the Northern Peoples Summit in Kaduna on Wednesday, Professor Abdullahi explained that no country survives with injustice, stressing that if Nigeria has to overcome its challenges and grow to meet the yearnings of future generations, it has to rediscover the place of justice as the foundation of all systems.
