The Lagos State government says it has concluded plans to launch the digitisation of courts in the state, in its bid to ensure speedy dispensation of justice in the state.
Mr Moyosore Onigbanjo, who is the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in the state, disclosed this on Thursday.
Speaking at the first virtual Bar-Bench Forum 2021, he noted that the coronavirus pandemic affected the digitalisation of the courts as proposed in 2020, but it would be achieved in October 2021.
The commissioner, who is also a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), hinted that the government has put plans in place to digitise 10 selected courtrooms at the first stage in the year.
A former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Cross River State, Barr (Mrs) Rosemary Obanya has decried the domination of the political space by men even though women are more in terms of population.
Speaking with DAILY POST, the former Attorney General who is the Chairman, Bar/Bench Forum, Calabar Branch of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) said it’s regrettable that the men continue to dominate even when they are more than them.
“The women have woken up now and they are now working for what they want to achieve. I have confidence in women because, women are hard working, women have integrity, it’s just that in the past, women were expected that things should be given to them on the platter of gold, but there is no free launch,” Mrs Obanya noted
