U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission Kathleen FitzGibbons has applauded the efforts of the Nigerian Correctional Service to implement the 2019 Nigerian Correctional Service Act and recognized the importance of the Act to ensure that justice is carried out in proportion to criminal offenses, contribute to the rehabilitation and reformation of offenders, and promote justice for the Nigerian society at large.

The US Envoy gave this commendation at a hand-over ceremony at the Nigerian Correctional Service. 

Through the Embassy’s office of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), the ceremony recognised the assistance INL has provided to support the Nigerian government in the effective implementation of the Act, and the strengthening of rule of law in Nigeria.

The support includes printed posters to educate the public about the new Act and billboards for each State Command to ensure the public is aware of the service the State Commands provide under the new Act.  The U.S government also has supported the Correctional Service to develop a database for inmates awaiting trial, which helps to reduce overcrowding and ensure speedy judicial processing.

A statement by the US Embassy read that based on our support, working with implementers Partners Global, Partners West Africa, and the Network of University Legal Aid Institutions, the Correctional Service took the initiative to develop the Correctional Information Management Systems (CIMS).  First implemented in Kuje prison, CIMS has now been expanded to assist administrative processing of detainees and inmates in multiple facilities, including Ogun and Nasarawa States with INL support.

Furthermore, under the “Reforming Pretrial Detention in Nigeria” project, funded by INL, PartnersGlobal with Nigeria-based Network of University Legal Aid Network (NULAI) has implemented  a U.S.-Nigeria Virtual Exchange for Legal Aid Clinic to explore national and international norms of criminal procedure and law.

Recognising that effective criminal procedure requires continued legal education and professional development for the many professionals dedicated to strengthening the rule of law, INL supported a series of trainings in recent months implemented by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).  UNODC hosted training sessions for defense attorneys, prosecutors, judges and police officers in North East and North Central Nigeria to emphasize best practices in securing a crime scene, designing and implementing evidentiary handling procedure, and maintaining evidentiary integrity.
