Stakeholders have gathered at the national headquarters of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in Abuja to take critical views on the MOVE Project for the 2023 general election.

The NHRC also established a Hate Speech Register monitor, and track hate speeches from all platforms using Twitter, Facebook and others.
In his opening speech, the Executive Secretary of the Commission, Chief Tony Ojukwu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, said the briefing was the fourth in the series of the efforts of NHRC to bring the media up to speed with what was being done to ensure that those tracked to have made hate speech, violated the rights of citizens and other actions that hindered access and participation are brought to book
He called on Nigerians and others living in the country to continue to maintain the peace as that is the only way to engender development of the country.
The NHRC boss thanked the media, the Ford Foundation, UN bodies and other partners for the successes recorded so far and declared the meeting open.
