Choosing humanity over harm: A National Assembly’s duty to protect life, By Margaret Uddin Ojeahere

Margaret Uddin Ojeahere has published an opinion piece addressing Nigeria's National Assembly, arguing that the legislative body has a fundamental duty to prioritize human life over punitive measures. The commentary asserts that the country requires leadership attuned to the realities of human suffering rather than increased punishment.

As a central point of reform, the author contends that the first necessary step for the National Assembly is to decriminalize attempted suicide, framing the policy shift as an essential humanitarian measure for citizens in crisis.
