dc.descriptionThe Nigerian state has been defiled with the diseases of corruption, injustice, extortion and ethnicity occasioned by power drunken leadership who does not have the recourse of the virtue of Plato’s concept of justice. This wearying scenario had caused Nigerians to question the leadership and its neglect for justice and demand for good governance in Nigerian State. This paper reviewed the ongoing yarning for Plato’s concept of justice as criteria for desirable change, equality, fairness and equity in the Nigerian state. The study was anchored on John R. Awls theory of justice. A qualitative method of data gathering was employed for the study. The data collected through the second method were thoroughly subjected to content analysis. This paper observed that the lack of Aristocratic justice is the bane for the historical evil that bequeathed the Nigerian state. Therefore, the paper recommended among other things that Plato’s concept of justice should strictly adhere to for peaceful co-existence of the various ethnic groups in the Nigerian State.en-US
