Borno Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, has stated that under his leadership, there has been no single case of executive intimidation of the judiciary or judges in the state.
Zulum disclosed this at the International Conference Centre in Maiduguri on Monday, while flagging off a 3-day workshop on the administration of criminal justice law in Borno State in 2023, organised by the Ministry of Justice in collaboration with the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies (CSLS).
He mentioned that the state government will look into the issue of poor standards of legal education with a view to providing a lasting solution.
According to him, access to justice is one of the indices of good governance. For the state to reciprocate with the judicial sector, the state government will create educational opportunities for judicial workers, which will help enhance their capacity in the workplace.
“Let me assure the Attorney General of the Ministry of Justice and Chief Judge of Borno State that the state government under my leadership, Insha’Allah, will do everything possible to enhance the welfare of judges in the state before the end of my tenure.
“This is very critical for our success; we will continue to train judicial workers at both the local and national levels. It was in this direction that we deliberately started doing this training, and many more are coming.”.
Speaking, the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, have advised the participants to actively participate in the workshop so that they can get new insight in relation to the administration of criminal justice.
In her remarks, the Attorney-General of Borno State and Commissioner of Justice, Barr. Hauwa Abubakar, Esq., noted that the aim of organising the workshop is to upgrade the knowledge of the judicial workers in connection with the administration of criminal justice law in Borno State in 2023.
She explained that the beneficiaries were strategically selected and assured that those selected would gain more knowledge in relation to the administration of the criminal justice law of Borno State 2923 and the prosecution of offences generally.
The President of the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, Prof. Yemi Akinseye, while welcoming the participants and stakeholders, said the lawyers and law gurus cannot solve the societal problems in relation to justice, but they need more support from other members of society.
“We make mistakes that we alone can solve the problems of society pertaining to law and justice, but we need other colleagues for doing that,” he added.
The book, titled The Law of Torts in Nigeria: A Functional Approach, authored by Professor Hagler Sunny Okorie Ph.D and Ikeocha, Nathaniel Ngozi Esq, offers law students, practitioners, and academics a comprehensive guide to understanding and applying tort law in Nigerian courts.
