NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION(NHRC) BOGGED DOWN



-           Stakeholders with the collaboration of the National Assembly and Civil Society successfully advocated the passing of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) amended Act, 2010.

-          Among other things, the Act empowered the commission to investigate human rights violations and register decisions with High Court.
-          Stakeholders have called for restructuring of the commission, with the appointment of capable hands to man its affairs for maximum benefit of Nigerians.
-          They stated that leaving NHRC in cable hands would expand the hope of the common man, thus realizing the dreams of founding fathers and government.
