Abstract
This study examines Nigeria's public sector anti-discrimination legislation for LGBTI+ rights over a three-year period. A longitudinal case study approach was used, focusing on data from publicly available reports and interviews with stakeholders in the public sector. During the period studied, there were instances of discriminatory practices against LGBTI+ individuals within public services, particularly in employment and housing sectors. The findings suggest that while there have been some positive developments, significant challenges persist in enforcing anti-discrimination laws effectively. Stakeholders should collaborate to strengthen enforcement mechanisms and increase awareness about the rights of LGBTI+ individuals within public sector settings.
