Why this petition matters

The story of the ban on NGOs in Adamawa State, Nigeria has captured the attention of the international community, with many people and organizations expressing concern about the impact of the ban on the most vulnerable and marginalized communities in the state.

For years, NGOs have been working tirelessly to provide critical services such as healthcare, education, and humanitarian aid to those in need in Adamawa State, particularly in areas affected by conflict and displacement. These organizations have played a vital role in supporting the most vulnerable communities in the state, often in challenging and dangerous circumstances.

However, ecently, Governor Fintiri of Adamawa State in Nigeria has announced a ban on the activities of all international and local NGOs in the state, citing concerns about elections, transparency and accountability. The ban has left many people without access to critical services and support, and has created a vacuum in the provision of essential aid and services to those who need it most.

The ban on NGOs in Adamawa State is not only a humanitarian issue but also a human rights issue. It is a clear violation of international human rights conventions to which Nigeria is a signatory, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. It is imperative that the international community stands in solidarity with those affected by the ban and takes action to support them.

To address this issue, we are launching a calling for the immediate lift of the ban on NGOs in Adamawa State. The petition urges the Nigerian government to work with NGOs to address any concerns they may have while ensuring that their activities are conducted in accordance with Nigerian law and international human rights standards.

The issue has already gained significant support from individuals and organizations around the world who recognize the important role that NGOs play in supporting the most vulnerable communities. By adding their voice to the petition, signatories can help to pressure the Nigerian government to take action to lift the ban and ensure that the most vulnerable communities in Adamawa State receive the support they need.

It is only through a united effort that we can work towards a future where everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to the basic services and support they need to thrive. By signing the petition and sharing it with others, we can help to make a difference in the lives of countless people in Adamawa State.
