dc.descriptionHuman rights are the cornerstone of state sovereignty; they are a tool to help states and societies grow and become resilient. They help empower women and girls. They help to advance development. They help prevent conflict and ensure a just equitable and prosperous world. But much remains to be done to make human rights a reality for all. Today, human rights and their defenders are under increasing pressure in all regions. This will not solve any of the challenges the world faces. The solution to society's problems lie in staying bound to our shared commitment to uphold the human rights and the inherent dignity and equality of each human being. Furthermore, Human Rights are natural rights and none should be deprived of them by the State or her agents. However, It is also observed that since independence, the Nigerian Government and the citizens have not been oriented properly on what constitutes human rights and the practice which can aid smooth political-economy development of the nation thus, the frequent tramping on fundamental human rights of the citizens by the government and the citizens alike. Factors such as lack of proper orientation poverty, illiteracy, legal framework and religious sentiments among others, have to some extent accounted for the violation of human rights in the country.
