PROFESSOR MATTHEW CHUKS OKPALUBA: A LEGACY OF LEGAL SCHOLARSHIP, INTELLECTUAL EXCELLENCE A Tribute to a Distinguished Nigerian Legal Scholar By C.Umeokafor LL.B, B.L, LLM The passing of Professor Matthew Chuks Okpaluba marks the end of an extraordinary intellectual journey and the loss of a distinguished scholar whose contribution to legal education, jurisprudence and academic thought extended far beyond the shores of Nigeria.

His doctoral thesis, Compulsory Labour Adjudication in Trinidad & Tobago: The Jurisprudence of the Industrial Court, was already indicative of the depth and direction of his intellectual interests. His principal areas of teaching and research included constitutional law, administrative law, labour law, human rights and humanitarian law, and…
