| dc.description.abstract | It is intended in this work to examine the provisions of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 vis – a- viz the provisions of other relevant laws as they allow for the enjoyment of religious practices by individuals and by communities of faith .The clarity of language, the intendment of the law makers will also be highlighted with a view of seeing the impact of such provisions. The Social, cultural, economic and political milieu of the country will also be examined in order to assess the impact and practicability of the rights by citizens through observance of religious beliefs. An individual’s enjoyment of these rights is weighed against other interests such as public health, safety and welfare of society. The interplay of religion and areas of conflict suggestive of qualified or restricted enjoyment of rights will also be examined. | |
