The President, Muhammadu Buhari, also called on the judiciary to come up with an initiative that will ensure speedy dispensation of justice thereby decongesting the nation’s prisons.
President Buhari further called for the establishment of courts in prison yards to speed up decongestion.
According to him, logistics of transporting prisoners to court is huge.
He, therefore, asked the Attorney General to take up the matter of welfare of judicial officers with the salaries and wages commission.
