Plateau State High Court Commences E-Affidavit System

The Plateau State High Court of Justice has officially commenced the use of its Electronic Affidavit (e-Affidavit) system, in line with earlier public announcements, marking a significant milestone in the judiciary’s drive toward digital transformation.

The Phase 1 Launch scheduled to commence in Courts across Jos North to kick start the pilot phase on 5th January, 2026 did not kick off immediately due to the unavailability of the e-payment platform.

However, the E affidavit portal officially went live on Wednesday, 7th January 2026. It is designed to enhance efficiency, security, accessibility, and the long-term preservation of affidavit records. With this innovation, members of the public can now process affidavits conveniently from the comfort of their homes via the online portal: https://t.co/TLpyto30U7
or visit the High Court premises for guided assistance to ensure accuracy and seamless service delivery.

The introduction of the e-Affidavit platform represents a major step forward in judicial digitalisation and underscores the Plateau State Judiciary’s commitment to improving service delivery through technology.

The initiative also serves as a model that can be replicated by other courts across the country.
