    (Department of Public and International Law, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, 2016-07-08) Jibrin, Mansur Lamino
    The Role of Ombudsman is to investigate Administrative acts which appear to be contrary to any Law or regulation, mistake in Law which is unreasonable unfair, oppressive or inconsistent with the general administration of organization, improper dismissal based on irrelevant consideration. Nigeria and Sweden have an institution of Ombudsman checking the excesses of administrative actions. Though in both countries, the Ombudsman performs similar functions, its appointment and area of jurisdiction significantly varies. While the operation of Ombudsman in Sweden is very effective, it is rendered ineffective as a result of limited areas of jurisdiction in Nigeria. Therefore, there is need to amend our laws with a view to restructure the appointment, functions, powers, tenure and areas of jurisdiction.
