By Sadiq Aminu. Governor Dikko Umar Radda of Katsina State, has called for stronger collaboration between all arms of the justice system and the state government to ensure justice for all, especially the common man.
Dikko Radda made the call while receiving the leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Katsina Branch, during a courtesy visit to Government House, Katsina.
The team was led by the State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Barrister Fadila Mohammed Dikko.
Governor Radda described the court as the last hope of the common man and said legal professionals must play their part in fighting banditry, kidnapping, and other crimes.
The Governor warned against delays in court processes and investigations. He urged all those involved to avoid unnecessary delays that slow down justice.
He also noted that while there are challenges in case investigation and court presentation, all parts of the justice system must work together to build trust and uphold the rule of law.
Governor Radda asked the NBA to send their requests in writing so that, the government can study them and see where support is possible.
The Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Barrister Fadila Mohammed Dikko, thanked the Governor for his support to the justice sector, adding that, the Ministry is working with all stakeholders to improve justice delivery in the state.
Earlier, the Chairman of the NBA Katsina State Branch, Barrister Shafiu Umar Karfi, thanked the Governor for setting up the Community Security Watch Corps to support security efforts in the state.
He also promised NBA’s support for the government’s justice reforms and requested a permanent office for the association, as well as better pay and working conditions for magistrates and state lawyers.
The visit is part of the Radda administration’s effort to strengthen justice and improve law and order in Katsina State.
