Heads of different agencies under the federal ministry of justice have signed a performance bond.
The agencies are the National Human Rights Commission; National Drug Law Enforcement Agency; Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Study; Legal Aid Council of Nigeria; Nigeria Law Reform Commission and the Nigeria Copyright Commission.
Others are the Council for Legal Education; National Agency for the Prohibition of Traffic in Persons and Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration among others.
Ministers, presidential aides and permanent secretaries had in November 2023 signed a performance bond with the president which is expected to serve as a scorecard for the implementation of the ministerial deliverables and other programmes and policies of the government.
They were asked to cascade the gestures down to agencies/parastatals under their supervision.
Speaking at the event, the attorney general of the federation and the minister of justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), said the bond would be to measure their performance.
The AGF warned that he would hold all the heads of agencies to the highest performance standard in line with the declarations they made.
He noted that he had assigned roles to heads of agencies in that regard.
