Background of the Study
Political corruption is a significant barrier to the protection and promotion of human rights in many parts of the world, including Nigeria. In Plateau State, political corruption has been linked to widespread mismanagement of public resources, lack of accountability, and the failure to deliver essential services to citizens. This corruption undermines the ability of the government to protect citizens’ rights, including the right to education, healthcare, and security.
In Jos South, Plateau State, citizens have long struggled with the effects of political corruption, which has contributed to poor governance and inadequate provision of basic services. The diversion of public funds meant for infrastructure, healthcare, and education often leads to violations of citizens’ economic and social rights. This study will investigate the relationship between political corruption and the violation of citizens’ rights in Jos South, focusing on the sectors most affected by corruption, such as education, healthcare, and public safety.
