The International Human Rights Commission (IHRC) has called on the organisers of the #EndbadGovernanceProtest in the country to present their demands in a civil, peaceful, and orderly manner to the federal government. This was even as it commended the federal government for acknowledging citizens’ constitutional right to protest against bad governance. “Let me use this opportunity to commend the Nigerian President for embracing international best practices and recognising protest as a fundamental human right enshrined in the constitution,” he said. The IHRC Ambassador described protest as a fundamental human right, emphasising its importance in holding leaders accountable. Malami also advised the Nigerian President to heed the concerns of Nigerian youths and citizens, advocating for fundamental reforms to address pressing issues.
