The constitutional obligation to protect the right to education in Nigeria: A call for action
Azubike C Onuora-Oguno and Theophilus Silas
Academy of Science of South Africa
This article argues that beyond the obligation of states to respect, promote and fulfil the right to education, the obligation to protect, which is crucial, is often neglected. Additionally, it highlights that access to and availability of education is limited when states do not protect the school space by making it safe for learners. With a focus on Nigeria, the article argues that the lack of fulfilment of the obligation to protect by the Nigerian state is a violation of its obligations under international human rights law. Relying on Nigeria's commitments under various African human rights treaties, national law and policies, the article makes recommendations on how the obligation to protect can be realised and, thus, the right to education respected in its entirety in Nigeria.

Commentary on the Right to Education: An Expository of Article 12 of the Maputo Protocol
Azubike Onuora-Oguno
University of Public Service Ludovika University Press
The right to education is identified as a crucial and classical right. This classification is premised on the fact that it provides the basis on which an individual has the potential to transform their status and build their desired personality. Additionally, it is the basis on which society is projected to be transformed and set on a better pedestal, with individuals playing positive roles. The recognition of the right, though emanating from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) received only tacit recognition through other treaties. The Maputo Protocol recognises the right to education, as it flows from the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. This commentary, therefore, examines the right to education as enshrined in the Maputo Protocol with the aim of restating the grounds covered in the protection of female children and women and exposing lost opportunities. Finally, it makes recommendations on how the lost ground can be covered and give better content and scope to the right to education.
