Legal Literacy Campaigns among Nigerian Informal Workers: An Engagement and Feedback Assessment Over Two Years

Legal literacy among Nigerian informal workers is crucial for improving access to justice, yet little research exists on how such campaigns are received and perceived over time. The study employed ethnographic methods including direct observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis to understand the impact of these campaigns on participants' knowledge and engagement levels. During the two-year campaign, there was a notable increase in awareness about legal rights among informal workers, with over 70% of respondents indicating an improved understanding of their rights compared to before the intervention. The findings suggest that sustained engagement through regular campaigns is essential for building long-term knowledge and behaviour change among Nigerian informal workers. Policy makers should consider integrating these legal literacy programmes into broader social services, ensuring they are accessible and culturally relevant to all segments of the population.
