Abstract

Nigeria, a country endowed with abundant human and natural resources, is unfortunately ravaged by
multidimensional poverty due to gross absence of social justice in the country especially in the governance
of the country. To turn things around, this paper recommends adherence to social justice through,
particularly, the principle of common good under canon law jurisprudence.
