Abstract | The value of upholding individuals' rights in society especially in this post-COVID-19 era can never be over-emphasized. The economic, political, cultural, and social rights of citizens set the parameters of what is expected by citizens from the government as we exist and socialise in society. It is also what gives the legal backing to citizens and what protects them from undue interferences and pressure from individuals, corporate, and government organizations. In Nigeria, serious social issues infringe on the social rights of citizens. Problems of insecurity, regular kidnapping, unemployment, and low standard of living exist. Many believe these long-lingering social issues, which are rooted in corruption, can be curbed via adult education. This will in turn bring about improved democratic practice by the government so citizens are safe and protected. This paper discusses the concept of adult education and how it can promote social rights in the practice of Nigerian democracy in the post-COVID-19 era. The paper examines related concepts on democracy and social rights and their value to national development. [For full proceedings, see ED628982.] (As Provided). |
