In the report, HRMI said Nigeria’s quality of life scores are generally very low, all falling in the ‘very bad’ range, showing that successive governments have not met their human rights obligations to their people.
“Nigeria has the financial resources to do much better,” the researchers said. “Every single one of Nigeria’s component scores is in the ‘very bad’ range, which means that many millions of people are suffering unnecessarily when the country could afford to be ensuring better living conditions.” For all four rights, Nigeria performed worse than most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, the HRMI report stated.
