Join us as we explore the objectives of #ACJA_NG.
(a) Promote speedy dispensation of justice
#ACJA_NG improves the administration of criminal justice process so as to increase the efficiency of all criminal justice institutions & promote speedy justice delivery.
#ACJA_NG makes a deliberate policy of mainstreaming human rights and protecting vulnerable persons and human dignity in consonance with the provisions of Nigerian Constitution.
#ACJA_NG makes a deliberate shift from punishment as the main goal of the criminal justice system to restorative justice which pays attention to the needs of victims, vulnerable persons and society at large.
#ACJA_NG introduces modern criminal justice tools that ensure that records of offenders and their statements are properly documented and other alternatives to imprisonment.
#ACJA_NG recognizes that criminal justice administration requires the participation of everyone in order to be effective. Hence it makes provision for oversight for the institutions from the civil society
