Osinbajo advocates people-centred reforms at NBA conference

Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo called for people-centred justice reform during a panel session at the 66th Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association in Port Harcourt. He urged stakeholders to prioritize the needs and experiences of citizens in the justice system. Osinbajo stressed that a data-driven approach, with a focus on areas such as pre-trial detention, small claims, first-response mechanisms and legal assistance, would help build support for more challenging reforms.

He also emphasized the importance of local ownership, professional development and continuous improvement in mediation, legal aid, legal technology and community justice.
