US Report Raises Concerns Over Security, Justice in Nigeria
The United States has flagged serious concerns over security, justice delivery, and labour rights in Nigeria, citing enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, and lengthy pre-trial periods as persistent problems.
In its 2024 Country Report on Human Rights Practices, the US Department of State highlighted arbitrary bail conditions, indefinite detentions, judicial delays, and corruption within the justice system. It also noted that the new ₦70,000 minimum wage has been eroded by naira depreciation, with many workers excluded due to weak enforcement and gaps in the law.
The report further raised concerns over child rights, pointing to early marriage in several states despite federal laws setting 18 as the minimum legal age.
Reacting, the Presidency said the Tinubu administration is addressing the concerns, stressing that security coordination has improved, terrorism arrests validated government efforts, and judicial reforms are underway to tackle delays in the justice system.
