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.
Commonly, academics in their research projects provide theories to explicate major issues in society. Accordingly, these distinguished veteran scholars, Professors Joseph A. Balogun and Philip C. Aka, provide theories aimed at guaranteeing equal advantage of all human rights to persons with disabilities as contained in the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities signed by Nigeria in 2007. They urge Nigeria to enshrine the preceding rights instrument in her constitution and ratify the Protocol of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on this matter. In this way, Nigeria would integrate these often marginalized citizens with disabilities into her development agenda. Overall, this is an invaluable book on human rights discourse in Nigeria and the Global South. -- E. Ike Udogu, Appalachian State University
