The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of
Justice, Abubakar Malami has concluded plans to deploy virtual court facilities
at the Kuje Correctional Centre, Abuja.
The development follows the recent commitments to support
Nigeria with virtual court facilities in Correctional centres across the
country, given by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the
Government of Japan.
Special Assistant to the Attorney General of the Federation
AGF on Media and Public Relations Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu made this public in
Abuja on Sunday.
The Acting Director of the Administration of Criminal
Justice Reform Department of the Federal Ministry of Justice, Mrs Leticia
Ayoola-Daniels, said the move is the result of the precarious state of
correctional centres in Nigeria and the urgent need to fast track their
decongestion.
Ayoola-Daniels said the donor bodies will be the financiers
of the virtual court facilities at the Kuje Correctional centre.
”The successes recorded by the Presidential Committee on
Correctional Reform and Decongestion and indeed the Federal Ministry of Justice
earned Nigeria the goodwill to receive support and sponsorship from development
partners and the international community, Ayoola-Daniels said.
