The Federal government led by His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu –GCFR, has reaffirmed to the international community its stance against same-sex marriage.

During the 45th Universal Periodic Review in Geneva, the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, emphasized the government’s position, adding that same-sex marriage contradicts the country’s domestic laws.

He further explained that these laws are a reflection of the sentiments of the Nigerian people.
