As the world prepares to commemorate World Human Rights Day on December 10, the International Human Rights Commission (IHRC) is urging the Nigerian government, civil society, and citizens to join forces in safeguarding the rights of women, children, and all Nigerians.

According to Ambassador Abdullahi Bakoji Adamu, Country Director of IHRC Nigeria, “It is imperative that we build a society where everyone can live in peace and dignity”. This call to action emphasizes the need for collective responsibility in promoting and protecting human rights.¹

The IHRC also expressed gratitude to media organizations for their crucial role in raising awareness and advocating for human rights. Ambassador Adamu stressed that “together, we can create a just and equitable society”.

As Nigeria marks World Human Rights Day, the IHRC’s message serves as a reminder of the importance of unity and collective action in promoting human rights and dignity for all.
