The country's chief legal officer says the federal government is modernizing its document system to speed up justice. Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi launched a new digital platform for the Ministry of Justice during an event in Abuja. He stated the move away from paper files aligns with the president's agenda for a more efficient and accountable legal sector.
Fagbemi explained that the Enterprise Content Management System will digitize correspondence, emails, and legal documents to remove bureaucratic delays. He called the platform a key governance reform that secures records and improves workflow discipline. The solicitor-general of the federation, Beatrice Jeddy-Agba, reported that the ministry has already scanned over six thousand physical files containing hundreds of thousands of pages into the new system. She said the shift ends a slow, paper-heavy era in favor of transparency.
The attorney general also inaugurated renovated facilities for staff, including a clinic and sports center. He thanked various partners and foundations for their support in the modernization effort.
