About Justice In Nigeria Now

Justice In Nigeria Now! (JINN) is a San Francisco-based organization working in solidarity with communities in Nigeria and allies in the U.S. to hold multinational corporations accountable for their operations in Nigeria to act in a manner that respects human rights, protects the environment, and enhances community livelihoods.

JINN’s Goals:

1. To see improvements in the operating practices of extractive industry in Nigeria that result in better conditions for people and the environment.

2. To call for accountability and transparency regarding industry practices, such as full public disclosure regarding the extent of the relationship with military and police forces — including all payments, housing, and transportation provided.

3. To build public awareness regarding oil company practices that violate human rights and destroy the environment.

4. To support and strengthen organized elements of Nigerian civil society.

5. To work in solidarity with Nigerian civil society groups who are seeking job training and real jobs, environmental clean up, schooling, staffed health clinics, clean water and electricity.

6. To connect Nigerian groups in alliance with other organized communities around the world who are adversely affected by extractive industry practices.
