Conclusion

In conclusion, the poll results have revealed that most Nigerians disclose that human right violation is prevalent in the country. For instance, 30 percent of Nigerians reported that their rights have been infringed on before while few claimed that they know people whose rights have been violated. It is worrisome to note that 28 percent of adult Nigerians whose rights have been violated before reported that the Police and government officials ranked highest amongst others who violated these rights.

Given that the police and government officials ranked highest, it is therefore, imperative for routine retraining and reorientation of law enforcement officers across all cadres and government officials on what constitutes human rights as part of efforts to protect the masses.

Finally, as recommended by 27 percent of adult Nigerians, frequent sensitization of the citizenry on their fundamental human rights through seminars, academic work, and books that portray such rights should be implemented. The sensitization campaigns should focus more on those who violate these rights. Lastly, as suggested by 15 percent of Nigerians, laws should be enforced to prosecute violators as this will serve as a deterrent to other violators of people’s human rights.

Lol I'm surprised reducing government power and presence in daily life isn't the obvious solution. Its shouldn't be any surprise the government is main violator of human rights. The only thing that's weird to to me is so called friends and family violating rights. You clearly need new friends if that's the case.

Government are usually the main violators, mounting useless roadblocks to collect bribes and delay motorists openly.
