President Bola Tinubu has urged the Senate to repeal the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 and enact the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2026.
Tinubu’s request is contained in a letter addressed to President of Senate and read at plenary on Thursday.
Tinubu said the bill was designed to provide for the administration of criminal justice in the courts of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and other federal courts in Nigeria.
According to him, the bill also seeks to establish Administration of Criminal Justice Monitoring Council for effective and efficient administration of criminal justice in Nigeria.
“The specific objective of the bill, as indicated in section 1, is to ensure that the system of administration of criminal justice in Nigeria promotes efficient management of criminal justice institutions,” he said.
