ABSTRACT
This study explores the relationship between egalitarianism and social justice in the Nigerian context. Nigeria, a nation marked by significant social and economic inequalities, presents a unique case study for examining how egalitarian principles can be applied to achieve social justice. This study analyzes historical and contemporary factors that contribute to these inequalities, including ethnicity, corruption, sectarian politics, sexism, religion, and socioeconomic background. The study argues for a nuanced approach to social justice that balances principles of equality of opportunity with the need for affirmative action programs to address historical injustices. Furthermore, the study explores the role of civil society, government policies, and economic development in promoting a more egalitarian and just Nigerian society. Ultimately, the study seeks to contribute to ongoing discussions about how to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the pursuit of social justice in Nigeria.
