Bauchi NBA Human Right C’ttee Hails Gov Bala For Assenting To VAPP Law

The Human Right Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Bauchi State Branch has commended Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed for signing the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act and Law and Administrative Criminal Justice bills into law. 

Chairman of Bauchi NAB Human Right Committee Dr Ibrahim Danjuma said signing the bill into law will ensure justice and protect the right of the victims of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in the state. 

He said being at the frontline for the protection of human dignity and social justice is not an easy ride, hence, it became imperative for all right groups and associations to appreciate the contributions of activists and lawyers in this regard.

” We, at the Human Rights Committee of the NBA Bauchi Branch, commit to doing our best in the promotion and protection of the Human Rights of our people,” he said.

Dr Danjuma said strengthening the enjoyment of Human Rights, and promoting and protecting the inherent dignity of all people in Bauchi State with equality and fairness is the hallmark of the tenets of the Bauchi NBA Human Right Committee.
