Background of the Study
Urban slums are areas characterized by overcrowded living conditions, inadequate infrastructure, poor sanitation, and limited access to basic services. In Nigeria, rapid urbanization has led to the expansion of slums, where a large portion of the population lives without access to sufficient housing, clean water, healthcare, and education. Jalingo, the capital of Taraba State, is witnessing a rise in slum areas, affecting the overall living conditions of many residents.
Urban slum conditions often lead to the violation of fundamental human rights, including the right to adequate housing, the right to health, the right to clean water, and the right to education. This study aims to examine the impact of slum living conditions on the human rights of the residents of Jalingo.
