Abstract
This paper examined the implication of Nigeria’s ratification of international human rights instruments in relation to enforcement of socio-economic rights in the country and debunked the age-long postulation that Chapter II of the Nigerian Constitution is nonjusticiable. The paper proceeded to show that even if Chapter II of the said Constitution was to be held to be non-justiciable as generally believed, which the study argued against, it will not in any way affect the enforceability of socio-economic rights contained in international instruments binding on Nigeria. This is more so against the backdrop that the Nigerian Constitution places no limitation on the enforceability of socio-economic rights.
