Ogun State Judiciary has trained court registrars, file and record officers of the courts and officers of the Nigerian Correctional Centres on proper collation and documentation of inmates at the custodial centres and those on trial in courts.
Its Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Akingbolahan Adeniran, while addressing the officers, said endorsement forms, inmates court attendance and other documents are essential and must be appropriately handled to promote speedy dispensation of justice, protection of the society from crime, the right and interest of suspects and victims.
Adeniran spoke at the training programme held at at the State Judiciary Complex, Kobape, Abeokuta.
He said the training would enhance officers’ skills to generate statistics with ease from data collated and have quick understanding of issues to tackle, admonishing them to be modest and civil, towards ensuring safety of information of defendants and inmates.
“The Ministry of Justice has implemented the Justice clock, where notification of cases to tackle are given, and will enable it to quickly plan ahead.Therefore, no member of the Judiciary system will be left out in the implementation and modernisation of the system”, Adeniran said.
Speaking on behalf of the other trainees, a Court Registrar, Sunday Aina said the inmates court attendance form would fast track court proceedings.
He also expressed conviction that all major stakeholders in the Judicial system would abide by the trend of the reformation.
