The group highlighted a significant disparity in funding, noting that while over N245 billion has been allocated to local security guards, infrastructure, and firearms little attention has been given to strengthening the criminal justice system.

“Government from across the states have not deliberately put in so much effort to ensure that there is an efficient functionality of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law in most of the states,” the foundation said.

This was disclosed during a policy brief presentation in Lagos themed, “Media Advocacy for Increased Budgetary Allocation for Efficient Implementation of the ACJ,” organised by the foundation inpartnership with the MacArthur Foundation.

Programme director of CLEEN Foundation, Hashim Salaudeen disclosed that while states have a duty to combat crime, Nigeria’s criminal justice system faces numerous challenges, including funding deficits, corruption, lack of awareness of the law, and political interference amongst others.
