NBA Seeks Establishment Of Fast Track Courts

The Nigeria Bar Asso
ciation (NBA) on Wednesday said it would partner with the Abia State Government to establish Fast Track Courts in the state.
The Aba NBA Chairman, Mr Chidozie Ogunji, said in an interview in Aba that the proposed court would ensure quick processing and trial of cases as well as reduce the unnecessary delays being experienced in the dispensation of justice.
The courts, he said, would discourage litigants from taking other options of settlement which might not follow a legal process.
“We want to start this idea of a fast track justice system so that a man does not come to court and stay years without getting justice. Then, there will be no need of him being in court, he may start having the option of using other alternatives that are not in tandem with the law. We intend to partner with the state government and if they align with our idea, we will jointly go ahead and establish it”, he said.
