Abstract:
This book links human rights and human dignity to Catholic Social Teaching, using Nigeria’s social and political struggles as a real backdrop. It explains why rights are not gifts from the government but rooted in the human person and God’s law.
Drawing on Enugu diocesan seminars and pastoral reflections, the authors urge the Church to form consciences, defend the vulnerable, and promote justice, peace, and responsible leadership.
