The slow pace of cases in court is one the acute problems of Nigeria's justice administration system.

The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has advised judges to slam “severe costs” on lawyers who delay the course of justice in court.

A statement by his spokesperson, Laolu Akande, quoted the Vice President as speaking on the theme: ‘Administration of Justice: the Ideal Standard, the Nigeria Reality and Our Potential.’ But in his presentation, the Vice President said the justice institution and infrastructure remain key to reforming the system.

Regarding the impact of the law on democracy, Mr Osinbajo noted that “the democratic rights of the people and their confidence in the notion of a government of the people, by the people, for the people, suffers when the system of electoral justice fails to see itself as a handmaid of the democratic process.”
