The ECOWAS Community Court of Justice has called on Nigerians to avail themselves of the availability of the Court to protect their rights.
A member of the Court, Justice Dupe Atoki gave the advice at a news conference held in Lagos, on the Sensitisation Programme of the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice.
Atoki said that the reason for sensitisation was because there was lack of full knowledge of the existence of the ECOWAS Court of Justice and its working.
She said the Court had to create awareness to improve on the knowledge of the citizens by collaborating with every relevant stakeholders that could spread and provide adequate means in which the citizens would get to know their rights.According to Atoki, individuals can access the court by lodging complaints of violations of human rights, which they have experienced from Member States.
