Describing the media as a critical partner in amplifying the efforts of the commission, he urged journalists to ensure that the message of human rights especially as it pertains to the activities leading to this year’s International Human Rights Day reaches every corner of society.

He said on Monday, November 25 would be a road show across the 36 states offices in collaboration with CSOs, NBA/FIDA, and other stakeholders from a designated points (NHRC offices) to the first ladies of the states, who would receive the group and launch the start of the 16 days of activism.
