Persons living with disabilities (PLWDs) are imbued with inalienable human rights and have talents and potential that would aid in the Nigerian government’s unceasing pursuit of economic development. However, under Nigeria’s Fourth Republic since 1999, implementation of disability laws has been lethargic. In Improving Disability Laws under Nigeria's Fourth Republic: Ten Measured Steps into the Future, Philip C. Aka and Joseph A. Balogun explore measures for improving the capacity of the Nigerian national government to implement regional and global treaties related to disability that are human rights-centric. They emphasize the need for a human rights focus and for the Nigerian government to implement laws that support the potential of PLWDs, including their contributions to socioeconomic development.

Philip C. Aka is former professor and dean of the Faculty of Law at the International University of Sarajevo. Joseph A. Balogun is a retired distinguished professor and former dean of the College of Health Sciences at Chicago State University, emeritus professor of physiotherapy at the University of Medical Sciences, and a visiting professor and program consultant at the Center of Excellence in Reproductive Health Innovation at the University of Benin.
