The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) on Wednesday in Abuja, agreed to collaborate in the areas of human rights education and promotion in Nigeria. ”The promotion and protection of human rights in Nigeria is every body’s responsibility and the media industry plays a pivotal role in accomplishing the task. ” When this happens, human rights is the first casualty in the face of the barbaric acts. ”And for you to protect other people’s rights, you have to know and understand that your right stops where the other person’s rights begin,” he said. He called on the commission to strike a balance between human rights and criminality saying “there are fraudulent people who fall back on human rights to perpetrate crimes”.
