dc.description.abstractIn this paper, the right to life is discussed in its all-inclusive context through the inclusion of the right to good road infrastructure as a significant component of the right. It argues that the right to life should not be restricted to deprivation of life, but be extended to sustenance of life. Accordingly, it argues that poor road infrastructure is a violation of the right to life, the breach of which should not be narrowly interpreted as deprivation of life but also, the neglect of road infrastructure occasioning millions of avoidable deaths. The right to life, it argues, should be broadly interpreted to encompass all its components, some of which are contained in the non justiciable provisions ofthe 1999 Constitution of Nigeria(as amended),Itconcluded by arguing that the combination of the provisions which the Constitution declares as non justiciable with the right to life, make suchprovisions tobecome justiciable without affecting their otherwise non justiciable status since they are not enforced on their own but on the basis of the justiciable right to life. It recommended what needed to be done concerning the state of road infrastructure in Nigeria so that the right to life can be,indeed, guaranteed.en_US
