The attorney-general gave a scorecard of the ministry in the past one year.
Nigeria is awaiting the return of $200 million from The Netherlands and Switzerland as part of OPL 245 Malabu Oil, Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami said.
“Also recovered within the period is the sum of $311 million from the U.S. and New Jersey, in the third phase of Abacha loot and another $6.3 million Abacha loot from the Republic of Northern Ireland”. The AGF said that a legal framework introduced by the ministry has helped to raise stamp duty collection from a mere total of N22 billion over the years to N66 billion within the last six months of the amendment of the act.
Also speaking, the Solicitor General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary, in the ministry, Dayo Apata, said effective coverage of the justice sector will help prevent injustice in the country. “The public is interested in how the sector handles criminal cases, election litigations, fight against corruption among others.
