He highlighted that the large number of complaints reflects increased public awareness and a growing willingness to report human rights violations. He called on the government and private sector to provide more resources to support the NHRC in addressing these issues, acknowledging that funding remains a significant challenge.


Dr. Salamatu Hussein, Chairperson of the NHRC Governing Council, also underscored the importance of focusing on children’s rights, particularly the right to education, to tackle issues like Nigeria's out-of-school children crisis.
