Human rights group, Human Rights Watch (HRW), has urged the United States President, Mr. Barack Obama, to raise issues relating to critical human rights challenges in Nigeria with President Muhammadu Buhari during his high-level visit to America in the week.

While the body enjoined Obama to encourage Buhari to keep his commitment to ensure that government security forces respect human rights and to address the endemic corruption that has deprived many Nigerians of their basic rights, the Washington Director for HRW, Sarah Margon, also implore Obama to implore Buhari to repeal the Same Sex Prohibition Act contrary to views expressed by larger majority of Nigerians.

“Human Rights Watch also urged Obama to raise corruption issues with Buhari as well as the need to repeal the Same-Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act, which became law during the administration of Nigeria’s previous president, Goodluck Jonathan. The law criminalises public displays of affection between same-sex couples and penalises organisations advocating the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people,” she said.

She noted that the Buhari visit to Washington is an important moment to re-evaluate the US-Nigeria relationship, but that any closer ties and assistance should be approached with caution.

Margon said: “If the US is discussing further financial or technical support for Nigeria’s security forces it should insist on clear benchmarks on how they will ensure respect for human rights.”
