The federal government set to take a decisive step to enhance justice delivery as well as reduce drastically the number of inmates across custodial centres in the country. Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami stated that the project was initiated to ensure the hearing and determination of urgent and time-bound cases, using the digital platform. He says the government will no longer be constrained by mobility, space and time in justice delivery on account of accommodation of the virtual court sitting facilities and deployment of incidental technology. He noted stably the country’s justice system which is founded on the constitutional principle of fundamental rights to a fair hearing requires the court to hear and determine cases in public and in the presence of suspects or parties in court.
