Background of the Study:
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) was established in Nigeria to promote and protect human rights in the country. The Commission is tasked with investigating human rights abuses, providing legal aid, and advocating for the enforcement of human rights laws. In Bauchi State, the NHRC's regional office plays an essential role in addressing human rights violations, ranging from police brutality to issues related to freedom of expression and access to justice.
However, despite the NHRC's mandate, concerns persist about its effectiveness in addressing human rights issues at the grassroots level. Factors such as inadequate funding, limited awareness of its activities, and challenges in the enforcement of its recommendations can hinder the Commission’s impact. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the NHRC in Bauchi, evaluating its performance in promoting human rights protection and addressing violations.
Statement of the Problem:
While the National Human Rights Commission is mandated to protect and promote human rights in Nigeria, its effectiveness in Bauchi, Bauchi State, remains unclear. Challenges related to resource limitations, public awareness, and the enforcement of human rights protections may affect its ability to address human rights violations in the region. This study seeks to evaluate the NHRC's effectiveness in promoting human rights and addressing abuses in Bauchi.
