Speaking during the inauguration of the work station at the Ministry of Justice headquarters Umuahia, Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of the state, Mr Ikechukwu Uwanna, said the project marked a major breakthrough in justice administration in the state.
” Upon assumption of office as Attorney General, I found out that the laws of the state were last updated in 2005. We have our laws scattered everywhere. So, having access to them was very difficult. I kept running around trying to find where to locate each law. So, we tried to locate a law App provider to help us digitalise our laws, and I’m glad the dream has come true.”
” What motivated me is that Gov. Otti wants things done the right way. We are talking of e-governace and the Ministry of Justice will take the lead. This is part of the dream to digitalise governance in the spirit of new Abia. ” Our lawyers will now come here to do their legal processes, and that speeds up the process of justice dispensation. It helps one to access Abia laws with ease, and it has anotation of cases that have been decided based on the laws.”
