Human Rights Advocacy in Nigeria
Guard Time Information Strengthens Human Rights Advocacy Through Partnerships
The Guard Time Information, Human Rights Activists Nationwide, has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing human rights protection in Nigeria through collaborations with security agencies and civic institutions.
The voluntary organization has, over the years, maintained a working relationship with the Nigerian Police Force, ensuring that issues relating to abuse of rights and violations receive timely intervention.
In addition, the group works closely with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), a statutory body mandated to uphold and enforce the protection of citizens’ rights across the country.
Speaking on the organization’s vision, representatives of Guard Time Information noted that its activities revolve around publishing reports and stories that shed light on rights violations, giving victims a platform to be heard.
They emphasized that any member of the public who encounters or witnesses human rights abuses can immediately call the group’s attention for swift response and engagement with the relevant authorities.
The group has also established a “Patron Platform,” which allows individuals and institutions who are passionate about human rights to support the organization’s cause. According to the leadership, this platform creates a bridge between rights defenders and stakeholders who believe in justice and accountability.
Guard Time Information explained that one of its strongest pillars is the role of media and publication organizations in amplifying human rights education and awareness.
Through such partnerships, the organization has rolled out programmes aimed at promoting peace, non-violence, and respect for the rule of law within communities.
It further highlighted ongoing campaigns on drug abuse prevention and crime reduction, noting that such initiatives help address root causes of societal unrest while empowering young people to make better life choices.
A key aspect of the partnership model is shared responsibility. Publication houses and media outlets are encouraged to spearhead the process of sponsorship mobilization for human rights projects.
Once sponsorship is secured, Guard Time Information provides the technical and professional backbone by delivering lectures, workshops, and awareness sessions in target communities.
The group stressed that this collaboration is not only about reporting violations but also about building sustainable frameworks for peace and human rights education in Nigeria.
By combining advocacy with preventive education, the organization believes that communities can become more resilient against abuses, crime, and violence.
Guard Time Information concluded that its vision is to see a society where human rights are respected, peace is cherished, and individuals are equipped to resist crime and drug abuse through knowledge and empowerment.
The group has therefore called on well-meaning Nigerians, civic groups, and media organizations to join hands in creating a stronger, safer, and more just society.
