HiiL Launches the Justice Needs and Satisfaction (JNS) 2024 Report: A Comprehensive Examination of Nigeria’s Justice Landscape
HiiL invites justice professionals, policymakers, data experts, and all interested parties to a webinar unveiling new data and insights into Nigeria’s evolving justice challenges.
HiiL (The Hague Institute for Innovation of Law) is pleased to announce the launch of the Justice Needs and Satisfaction (JNS) 2024 report. This pivotal update provides an in-depth analysis of the most pressing justice issues Nigerians face today. This report continues the journey started with the JNS 2023 study, meticulously tracking the development of legal challenges faced by the same group of individuals over three years.
Since 2018, HiiL has been actively engaged in Nigeria, working to understand and address the justice needs of its people. Our mission is to bring justice closer to the population by identifying the most common legal challenges and the barriers that prevent effective resolution. The JNS 2024 report builds on this foundation, delivering fresh insights and data to inform policymakers, legal practitioners, and the public on how to create more accessible and equitable justice systems.
Why This Matters
Justice in Nigeria is more than just crime statistics and court cases; it encompasses the everyday struggles people encounter, the solutions they seek, and the outcomes they either achieve or fall short of attaining. HiiL’s research, conducted since 2018, underscores the critical need for justice systems that are accessible and centered around the needs of the people.
Key Findings from the JNS 2024 Report
- Access to justice remains a significant issue in Nigeria, with challenges such as land disputes, neighbor conflicts, and domestic violence being the most prevalent. ● Over half of those who reported no legal problems in 2023 faced new issues in 2024, highlighting the pervasive nature of legal challenges in the country.
- While approximately 55% of the problems identified in the initial study were fully or partially resolved by 2024, many unresolved issues continue to have a profound impact on people’s lives, emphasizing the urgent need for sustainable, people-centered justice solutions.
