The Federal Executive Council has approved Action Plan 2020-2026 with the aim of advancing Nigeria’s position in the observance of international best practices of human rights.
The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, disclosed this on Wednesday, after the council meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to him, no government has observed human rights in its dealings with Nigerians as much as the Buhari administration. Malami further said the approval was based on the memorandum on policy relating to human rights, which he presented to the council, Channels News reports.
The AGF recalled that N130m was awarded to the family of Apo Six by the court even though the case predated the administration.
Malami also pointed out that no journalist died during the administration as a result of human rights abuse.
