Background of the Study
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a vital role in the development and advocacy processes of many countries, including Nigeria. These organizations often work to address human rights issues, poverty alleviation, healthcare, and education. However, their activities can be influenced by political interests and legal restrictions. The Nigerian Constitution provides a framework for the operations of NGOs, ensuring freedom of association and expression. In Sokoto South Local Government Area (LGA), NGOs face challenges related to government regulations and legal compliance, impacting their ability to function effectively.
This study will investigate the role of constitutional law in regulating NGO activities in Sokoto South LGA, examining how constitutional rights interact with governmental restrictions on NGO operations. By identifying legal barriers and facilitators in NGO regulation, the research aims to enhance understanding of how constitutional law can support NGOs in Sokoto South LGA.
