    SOCIO-LEGAL BARRIERS TO THE EXPANSION OF LEGAL AID IN NIGERIA: INITIATING LEGAL REFORM THROUGH THE CUSTOMARY COURT SYSTEM OLÚBÙNMI EUNICE ỌNÀFUWÀ Doctor of Philosophy School of Business and Law UNIVERSITY OF EAST LONDON July 2020 i Abstract The core of this study is directed towards an analysis of the laws, rules and guidelines that embody legal aid provision in present day Nigeria. This study will employ a socio-legal approach to investigate the root causes of Nigeria’s limited legal aid scheme. It will also focus on the relationship between law and society and will employ appropriate empirical research methods for an in-depth understanding of significant causal factors that influence legal aid provision in Nigeria. These factors will include an examination of Nigerian legal institutions, legal processes, and legal behaviour,1 particularly how legal institutions and legal processes affect individuals and how they are perceived by ordinary citizens and potential recipients of legal aid. This research considers the potential for other sources of law, and other legal institutions, such as customary legal systems, to be used as an additional, credible way to access, develop and expand legal aid provision in Nigeria. This study adopts two qualitative techniques: semi-structured telephone interviews and self- administered questionnaires, which were completed and returned via email. The request for respondents was launched on social media. In total, fifteen respondents partook in the study: twelve via self-administered questionnaires and three via telephone interviews. The inquiry was focused on a people’s perspective, the respondents were a variety of ages above 18, and evenly distributed by gender.
