Nigeria’s justice sector has made remarkable progress, says AGF Fagbemi
The Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, says the justice ministry has achieved a milestone towards fostering transparency, inclusivity, and accountability in the administration of justice in Nigeria.
Mr Fagbemi said this on Thursday in Abuja during a public session organised by the ministry to update citizens and the media on the strides recorded by the ministry.
He said the engagement also serves as a mechanism to receive feedback from all stakeholders for future improvements.
The AGF reminded stakeholders that the day’s engagement offered a unique opportunity for open dialogue, enabling all to identify gaps, propose solutions, and prioritize actions for the next phase of justice sector reforms.
“The justice sector has made remarkable progress in recent years, driven by the dedication and hard work of the departments and units of the ministry, partners, and stakeholders.
“The adoption of the 2024 National Policy on Justice, which was developed in collaboration with stakeholders to address the challenges militating against effective administration of justice in Nigeria, has helped us a lot.
“We equally have the National Policy on Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution, 2024 and the Implementation of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA), 2015 that have helped in the speedy dispensation of justice, among others,” Mr Fagbemi explained.
The justice minister also mentioned that the milestone achievements underscored the ministry’s unwavering commitment to fostering transparency, inclusivity, and accountability in the administration of justice in Nigeria.
