A few days after President Bola Tinubu transmitted the 2026 Criminal Justice Reform Bill to the National Assembly, the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies (CSLS) has called on relevant authorities to ensure that the administration of criminal justice in the country responds effectively to the realities of the day.

While the new bill seeks to repeal and re-enact the Administration of Criminal Justice Ac, (ACJA), the CSLS urged that efforts should be geared towards ensuring that the new laws are able to curtail new forms of criminality in the country.

The centre gave the charge at a one-day capacity-building workshop it organised for stakeholders in the justice sector.
