Abstract: Quality of life has very much to do with being sustainable. In a country where development and money is the means of progressing making profits, are unavoidable. But does the quest for progress hamper sustainability? Sustainability is important because it reflects a balance between freedom and power, independence and authority, rich and poor, justices and oppression. We have seen much oppression that emerges from exercising public power. Despite the formation of institution like integrity bodies, separate organizations to combat corruptions, tribunals and the like, yet public oppression never subside. Rudeness, unwillingness to treat the complainant as a person with rights; refusal to answer reasonable question; neglecting to inform complainant on request of her entitlement; knowingly giving misleading or inadequate advice; ignoring valid advice or overruling consideration which would produce an uncomfortable result for the overuler; offering no redress or manifestly disproportionate redress; showing bias on colour or whatever ground; refusing to inform adequately the right of appeal ; failure to mitigate the effect of rigid adherence to which it can produce manifestly inadequate treatment are all forms of malfeasance of the modern days. The focus of this paper thus is to look at the possible ways of combatting bad administration via judicial review of administrative action. What’s interesting is the ability of the court to tease out the complicated issues so that justice could be delivered. Justice is far-reaching if it can be exercised beyond merely the judicial scrutiny. Being able to address the lack of justice is in fact a reflection of sustainability and high quality of life.
