Our Core Values

Committed to promoting equality, dignity, and justice in Nigeria. Our work is grounded in standards contained in Nigeria constitution & laws, international human rights law, humanitarian law, criminal law, and refugee law. In applying these standards, we are guided by those most affected and by our partners, as well as by the principles of dignity, equality, and justice. But more importantly we seek the modification of Nigeria judicial laws/policies to cover loop holes that make it possible for some citizens and institutions (e.g. the court, police etc) to serve injustice to the common man.

Independent. We maintain neutrality in all conflicts, do not endorse political parties or candidates, and focus on promoting and advancing rule of law and human rights rather than pursuing partisan agendas. We do not accept funds, directly or indirectly, or support from any entity that could compromise our objectivity, independence, or reputation.

Accurate, Objective, Transparent, and Ethical. We maintain high standards in our intervention, research, communications, advocacy and activism to ensure that FJPG investigates, assesses, and presents information that is accurate and impartial. We uphold high standards of ethics when engaging with victims, witnesses, partners, and others; responsibly collect data; and strive for transparency regarding our methodology, structure, and funding.

Focused on impact. In pursuing our work, we focus on impact, whether immediate or in the long term. Incremental progress can sometimes involve curtailing or preventing worsening institutional abuse or situations. We succeed when we contribute to positive and sustainable changes to laws and policies and their implementation, as well as concrete improvements in people’s lives, through our direct work and in consultation and collaboration with our strategic partners.

Engagement with diverse partners. Through mutual respect and reciprocity whenever possible, we seek active and sustained partnerships with a diverse range of organization, institutions, activists and movements, including religious organizations especially those willing play necessary roles to promote human right, peace, equality, dignity, and the rule of law in Nigeria.
Constructive & Dependable Reciprocity. We believe in mutual support. We shall sacrificially stand with our partners e.g. civil societies when they come under attack for doing the right thing such as fighting injustice or human right abuses. FJPG will defend such partners from malicious attack, magnify the work of our partners, and help secure the space that they require to operate and thrive.
