FOREWORD
The State of Human Rights in Nigeria 2011-12 Report, produced by the national Human Rights Commission (Commission), is the 4th in the series of this comprehensive publication since its maiden edition in 2006.
Every year that the report is published, certain aspects are improved on from prior years. In the 2011-12 report the Commission streamlined the format of each chapter to highlight actual complaints received by the Commission, and the actions the Commission took to resolve those complaints. Ultimately, it is hoped that this new format will aid the public’s understanding of the Commission’s work, and the breadth of the issues that fall within the Commission’s purview.
