Research Assistant
Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria
I have been involved in carrying out research and investigations on a plethora of projects and other tasks that support the research activities under supervision of the Chief Legal Aid/Research Officer. Those tasks vary depending on a focus area. I often conduct research, make reviews, monitor motions, review and investigate petitions brought before the National Assembly (House of Representatives) on fundamental human rights abuses, fraud, abuse of power, misappropriation of funds and non-compliance with statutory policies. I also provide administrative support to the office by carrying out a full range of tasks, including coordinating human resources activities, follow-up with appointments, schedule meetings and ensure that attendees are briefed or provided with proper background information and material for meetings, and write/contribute to articles and publications on topical issues.
