Why Nigeria Expert Evidence Matters

Nigeria is one of the highest-volume asylum claim nationalities in the UK. Home Office refusals often rely on generic CPIN positions that do not reflect the appellant's specific profile. Independent expert evidence for UK tribunals is essential for LGBTQ+ persecution under SSMPA, IPOB separatist claims, Boko Haram risk, FGM, trafficking with juju rituals, and political persecution.

NigeriaExpert is a UK-only service for immigration solicitors, law firms, and Legal Aid practitioners instructing Nigeria country experts for First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal proceedings in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
