Professor Charles Dokubo cannot flagrantly abuse the power of his office by reneging on the terms of a valid contract he signed with the entire presidential amnesty programme students with his two eyes opened.
Under Nigerian law of contract, Professor Charles Dokubo has so far committed a serious breach of the contract between the Federal government and the amnesty programme students numbering over 700 which he has withheld their financial entitlements according to the clear terms of the document below he gave all of them to sign on resumption of office.
Trietel, in his book law of contract, defines contract thus..
"An agreement given rise to obligations which are recognized or enforced by law"
Prof I. E. Sagay in his book, Nigerian law of contract defines contract thus..
"A contract is an agreement which the law will enforce or recognize as affecting the legal rights and duties of the parties".
For a contract to be valid and binding on the parties, it must have the following important ingredients.
* Offer
* Acceptance
* Consideration
* Intention to enter into legal relations.
From the evidence above in the attached document , it is crystal clear that there was a valid contract between the Federal government of Nigeria and the Niger Delta presidential amnesty students to train them in the clear terms specified in the document.
It is trite law that once an offer has been giving by the promisor to the promisee, and the terms of the agreement has been accepted by the offeree and a consideration is duly furnished, the contract is binding. There is no mistaken of the facts that from the correspondence between these students and the amnesty office, there was a clear intention to enter into legal relations that was vividly contemplated from the beginning to be legally binding on Prof Charles Dokubo and the students. He must be estoppelled from brazenly breaching a contract he entered with students with his two eyes opened for equity not to be defeated in this clear case of oppression and discrimination that can only go unchecked in a lawless country.
