ABOUT CRP
Constitutional
Rights Project (CRP), is registered under
Nigerian law as a charitable non-

established in November 1990 to promote
respect for human rights and the rule of law
in Nigeria.
In pursuing
these objectives, CRP focuses on:
-
Strengthening and
promoting the independence of the
judiciary and other democratic
institutions in Nigeria.
-
Working towards
ensuring that legislation affecting the
rights and freedoms of Nigerians are in
compliance with universal human rights
standards.
CRP has
Observer Status with the African Commission
on Human and Peoples’ Rights.
CRP operates
three offices: one in Lagos, Nigeria’s
commercial center; the second in Owerri, in
Imo State, heartland of the eastern region
of Nigeria and the third in Abuja, Nigeria’s
capital city.
