    Open AccessChinyere Mbachu, Chijioke Okoli et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2018

  • Socioeconomic status and barriers to the use of free antiretroviral treatment for HIV/Aids in Enugu State, south-eastern Nigeria

    Chijioke Okoli, Susan ClearyARTICLEAfrican Journal of AIDS Research2011

In 2009, only about 34% of those in need of antiretroviral treatment (ART) were able to access care, which means that Nigeria was far from achieving the United Nations target of 'universal access' by 2010. This study aimed to describe the barriers to accessibility and the coping strategies employed to overcome these barriers among users of…

This study examined the factors responsible for non-adherence to free/subsidized ARV treatment in south-east…

  • Criminal Liability of Corporations in Nigeria

    Open AccessChijioke OkoliARTICLEJournal of African Law1994

    The criminal liability of corporations in Nigeria is an often neglected or forgotten aspect of the law, even in many of those cases where its consideration is ordinarily required. The reason for this anomaly is essentially two-fold. Firstly, the concept of distinct corporate personality remains a fiction to most Nigerians. At least in practical terms, even lawyers and members of the business community do not readily conceive the concept as going …
