The Rivers judge also hinted that the digital system had helped her in case management which she said was vital in effective service delivery.

Thompson admitted that she was happy with the system and added that it has so far reduced the number of old and dusty  paper case files handled on daily basis.
“With the necessary patience and support, the system has the potential of being world class. I would therefore, rate the system 80 percent “, she said.
The Tide learnt that the platform was part of the creation of the Rivers State Automaton Journey as powered by the state’s ICT department.
