LawPàdí

LawPàdí LawPàdí provides answers to everyday legal issues that face Nigerians.

The inspiration for LawPàdí came about because of the need to create more of an opportunity for access to justice for Nigerians. Historically, there has been a general reticence for people to assert their rights through the legal system in Nigeria, we believe there are various reasons for this (and although we can’t solve all the issues), we believe that we could tackle a major one – lack of the i

nformation/knowledge around legal rights. We are therefore excited to provide what we believe is a completely unique and exciting service in Nigeria – empowering people to assert their rights via their mobile phones.
