Background of the Study
Economic policies play a crucial role in shaping the socio-economic landscape of any country. In Nigeria, policies aimed at economic growth, such as those focused on the agricultural sector, trade, and industry, can have significant implications for the protection and promotion of human rights. The Nigerian Constitution, along with various international treaties, emphasizes the importance of protecting socio-economic rights, including the right to an adequate standard of living, education, and health.
In Lokoja, Kogi State, economic policies implemented by local and state governments have aimed at promoting growth and reducing poverty. However, the link between these policies and the protection of human rights, particularly the socio-economic rights of vulnerable populations, is often overlooked. This study seeks to evaluate how economic policies in Lokoja have influenced the protection and realization of human rights, particularly in relation to poverty reduction, education, healthcare, and housing.
Statement of the Problem
While economic policies in Lokoja have aimed at promoting growth, there is limited research on how these policies have impacted the protection of human rights in the region. Questions remain about whether the economic development achieved under these policies has translated into improvements in human rights for marginalized communities. This study will examine the relationship between economic policies and human rights protection in Lokoja, assessing whether these policies have successfully enhanced the protection of socio-economic rights.
