Abstract

The making of laws that meet the needs of citizens, as well as adherence to rule of law have been accepted as pillars of democratic practice as well as necessary ingredients for attaining good governance. Without the participation of citizens in the processes, the law makers may make draconian laws that would be anti people, which was the experience in the various military dictatorships that Nigeria had. Nigeria also has history abuses of rule of law by both military and civilian administrations. The study examined the participation of educated elites in the processes of law making and adherence to rule of law by public officials in Ogun State between 2003 and 2011. The design was descriptive, and 1720 respondents were selected from eight of the twenty local governments of the State. Interviews were conducted with key political functionaries as well as educated elites from different walks of life. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the quantitative data while the qualitative data was content analysed. There was high level of apathy among the educated elites, as most of them did not participate in the processes of law making as well as efforts requiring adherence to rule of law by public officials.
