The Anambra State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Professor Sylvia Ifemeje, has announced that the end-to-end full automation of the thirty-one High Courts in Anambra and the Ministry of Justice, when completed by the end of the year, would make the state the first to achieve such feat in the Nigeria justice sector.
Speaking after she received the “Amazon of the Frontline Bar” award from the Aguata branch of the Nigerian Bar Association, during the 2024 Law Week of the branch, Professor Ifemeje, who dedicated the honour to Governor Chukwuma Soludo, said that the present administration has also embarked on massive renovation of all the Ministry of Justice Outstations in Nnewi, Awka, Onitsha, and Otuocha.
She stated that the innovative, disruptive and transformative projects going on in the state justice sector are in line with the Governor’s promise of expeditious dispensation of justice.
Other achievements of the state government in the justice sector, according to the Justice Commissioner, include solar installation in all the High Courts, Court of Appeal, Federal High Court and Court of Appeal in Anambra, as well as all four Correctional Service Centres in the state.
She recalled that the Soludo administration has equally deployed virtual hearing facilities in all the High Courts and four Correctional Service Centres in Anambra.
