The Federal Government says it is committed to addressing challenges confronting the judicial system in the country.
This, it said, will be done through strategic policies and other mechanisms that have an impact on improving democratic norms, including the rule of law, access to justice, and minimum standards for the enforcement of human rights.
The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Lateef Fagbemi gave the assurance at the opening ceremony of the Network of Justice Sector Reform Teams conference in Ilorin, Kwara State.
He stated that the reform of the justice sector is at the core of the present administration’s developmental agenda to propel judicial reforms to achieve sustainable socio-economic growth and investment, facilitated by the rule of law, and tackle obstacles impeding the administration of justice in the country.
The Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on his part commended the the commitment of President Bola Tinubu to strengthen public confidence in the country’s justice system.
