Agbakoba Tasks New AGF on Urgent Judiciary Reforms

Dr.Olisa Agbakoba, has itemised pressing tasks to be carried out urgently by the new Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi.
In a statement , Dr. Agbakoba, said ” We have a Brilliant AGF in Lateef Fagbemi SAN. Am convinced reforming the judiciary system will be a simple task for him.
He is a very good colleague and I have the highest confidence in his abilities to reform the criminal justice system with particular reference to the utter confusion in the duplicated work of our law enforcement agencies in particular EFCC and ICPC is urgently needed.
” Also there is need to unbundle EFCC and restrict them to investigation only while a new National Prosecution Agency ought to be established.
Another key reform would be a complete decentralized Police Force at local state and Federal levels.
Major revamp of our outdated laws is urgently needed to follow the Rwanda example that modified 1000 laws. Last but not the least, the AGF must work on Speed of Justice.
It’s a crying shame it takes upwards of 15 years to conclude cases from the High court to the Supreme Court.
Finally but not exhausted is to create sector specific dispute resolution Agencies to free up the utterly cluttered dockets of the regular courts.
The other very important task before the Attorney General will be the unnecessary and wholly inefficient matter of over centralization of our superior courts. There is no better time than now to hack down the highly centralized Court systems in Nigeria.
The AGF is invited to consider major constitutional amendments to create a system of Federal and State Courts.
State Courts ought to have exclusive Jurisdiction over matters related to them. This is also the case for Federal Courts whose Jurisdiction must be limited to Federal causes.
This will free up the Clutter at the Supreme Court and make it the Policy Court it ought to be in the first place,” he said.

Musa and Marshal Abubakar, and a group of supporters chanting protest songs critical of the government and the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.
The travel bag, visibly packed with essentials, was seen as a symbolic gesture indicating that Sowore was prepared for the possibility of detention.

You will drink ‘shit water’ if you dig borehole in Lekki – Perm. Sec.

The Lagos State Government has expressed serious concerns over the quality of water consumed by residents in the Lekki area, warning that those relying on boreholes could be drinking contaminated water.
At a recent stakeholders’ meeting, Mahmood Adegbite, the Permanent Secretary of the Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources, sounded the alarm over the potential health risks posed by untreated wastewater seeping into underground water sources.
“Everyone digging boreholes within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water,’” Adegbite stated bluntly.
He explained that the government has plans in place to address the issue by expanding wastewater treatment efforts in the area. “If we are able to treat all the wastewater within this axis, we should be able to eradicate any form of disease that might result from non-treatment,” he added.
Adegbite also touched on the ongoing problem of flooding in Lagos, acknowledging that despite significant investment in drainage infrastructure, more work remains.
“Yesterday, it rained heavily, which is unusual because this is supposed to be August break,” he said. “We started having it because of a lot of complex issues. Despite the fact that we have committed so much, we still need to do a lot more in that space.”
The remarks underscore the growing environmental and public health challenges in Lekki, one of Lagos’s rapidly developing urban corridors.
