The Student Rights section is dedicated to upholding civil liberties, human dignity, and constitutional protections on school and tertiary campuses across Nigeria. Covering fundamental human rights entrenched in Chapter IV of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), we address critical topics including protection against unlawful corporal punishment, sexual harassment safeguards, freedom of expression and student unionism, campus search protocols, and procedural fairness in academic reviews. Our mission is to empower students and their advocates with the knowledge needed to assert their legitimate rights safely and effectively.
