On March 18, 2022, Headfort Foundation celebrated its third anniversary with an event titled "Access to Justice: A Fundamental Human Right," held at Marquee Hall, Eko FM, Lateef Jakande Road, Agidingbi, Lagos. In honor of this milestone, we launched a new initiative called "My Rights, My Freedom." This project features a simplified version of Chapter IV of the 1999 Constitution, translated into three Nigerian indigenous languages, with the goal of raising public awareness about the promotion, protection, and understanding of fundamental human rights and ensuring access to justice across Nigeria. DNN Africa provided comprehensive coverage of the event here.
This event featured panel session where different stakeholders in the justice system discussed the “clogs in the wheel of justice” and it was reported by BONEWS.
Our Executive Director-Oluyemi Orija spoke about the journey so far and how Headfort is pushing for effective justice delivery in Nigeria while speaking with MAPNEWS.
