The Nasarawa State Government has cut the time for legal advice on high-profile cases from over 40 days to just seven days. The move is aimed at accelerating justice delivery across the state. Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General Isaac Danladi disclosed the development on Monday during a ministerial briefing in Lafia. The briefing brought together heads of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies for monthly updates.
Danladi stated that the new timeline would apply to all high-profile cases requiring legal input from the state's Attorney-General's office. The previous 40-day wait for legal opinions often delayed court proceedings and enforcement actions. By reducing the period, the government hopes to eliminate avoidable delays in prosecution and administrative justice. The reform is part of broader efforts to improve efficiency in the state's justice system.
Reducing legal advice time from 40 to 7 days shows Isaac Danladi is prioritizing speed in a system often bogged down by delays. This change could mean faster court resolutions for citizens caught in prolonged legal bottlenecks. If implemented consistently, it may set a benchmark for other states bogged down by bureaucratic inertia. Efficiency in justice delivery, long delayed, now has a measurable target in Nasarawa.
