The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi SAN, has stated that there is an urgent need to reposition the justice sector for the achievement of the federal government’s development agenda.
The AGF while expressing its commitment to rally stakeholders in the justice sector for the federal government’s development agenda stated that President Bola Tinubu-led government is committed to building a civil service that is focused on improved staff competencies and skills.
The AGF stated this in Abuja on Thursday, while declaring open a one-day ministerial retreat for the Ministry of Justice and its agencies.
Fagbemi stated the Justice Ministry under his watch and its agencies are prepared and eager to extend necessary assistance to other sectors, ensuring the successful fulfillment of their assigned responsibilities under the administration’s renewed hope agenda.
He said the retreat was intended as a platform for officials of the ministry and its agencies “to relate as a sector, to apprise our respective roles, as well as to brainstorm on strategies needed to achieve our mandates.”
