Structure and use of the report
The report is structured into three main parts. The first section presents a country overview, including key information on Nigeria’s state structure, demographics and significant political developments. The second section focuses on the human rights situation and the treatment by state and non-state actors of specific population profiles. It should be noted that these profiles do not constitute an exhaustive list of all population groups but were selected based on considerations outlined during the development of the terms of reference (see Defining the terms of reference). The third and final section provides an overview of key socio-economic indicators at the national level, with particular focus on the cities of Lagos and Abuja.
