Luqman Hassan Program Manager

Criminal Justice Administration Program focuses on implementation and effectiveness of Criminal Justice and Anti-Corruption Laws particularly the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) with other complementary anti- corruption laws to fight corruption. The Centre organises workshop for Judges, Magistrates and other stakeholders in Criminal Justice Administration aimed at enhancing the understanding and improving the skills of participants on the Administration of Criminal Justice Act/Laws. We realise that the attainment of the lofty ideas of the ACJA is a continuous process which will require constant engagement of stakeholders in fora such as this for the benefits of assessing compliance, interrogate areas of difficulties, identify points where mutual cooperation is required and generally working together for the betterment of administration of criminal justice system in Nigeria.

Program on Access to Justice and Inclusive Societies
d
Omolola Oke Program Manager

Goal 16 of the SDGs aim to promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. Access is critical as the formal systems of the law are unfamiliar to a vast majority of people. While Legal Aid institutions predominantly focus on criminal issues a growing body of literature shows that a majority of people's legal problems are civil, rather than criminal problems. We realise the need therefore to conceptualise Access to Justice in terms of an inclusive and development prism i.e.

  1. Access to justice (hearing and closure) for everyday civil, administrative or criminal problems;
  2. Participation in opportunities the law provides; and
  3. resourcing and devising ways to alleviate plight of People who live in extreme conditions of injustice
