The #RoLAC Programme held its 8th Project Technical Committee (PTC) Meeting last Thursday, chaired by the Solicitor-General of the Federation, who was represented by Mrs. Victoria Ojogbane, Director of Planning, Research, and Statistics at the Federal Ministry of Justice.

The meeting focused on reviewing progress from the first quarter of 2026 and providing expert guidance on needed collaborations to address:

1️⃣ Infrastructure and institutional delays on court automation, lingering data and shared ownership gaps towards improved coordination for criminal justice reform.

As a follow up to the 3-day strategic training retreat for the Department of Training and Development of the Nigeria Police Force held in March, we hosted a Validation and Capacity Building Workshop for the newly established Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Unit within the Department to:

1️⃣ Validate the structure, mandate, and operational framework of the newly established M&E Unit

2️⃣ Define clear roles and responsibilities for effective performance tracking, reporting, and institutional learning within the Department of Training and Development and the Five-Year Strategic Action Plan (2026–2030), while promoting a result-based culture within the Department.

Through this capacity building workshop, the @RoLACNG Programme supported by the European Union (@EUinNigeria) in Nigeria and Implemented by International IDEA NG (@IntIDEA_NG) is equipping the newly assigned M&E officers with standard monitoring and evaluation tools, that ensures the Department of Training and Development can effectively track training outcomes, manage its new e-learning platform, successfully execute its long-term strategic goals and contribute to an improved criminal justice system in the long run👌

We launched the Africa and West Asia regional office in Pretoria on the 18th of May 2026.

The office operations was commissioned by the Secretary General, Dr Kevin Casas-Zamora and had in attendance key heads of diplomat missions and heads of agencies in South Africa.

As a society, how we treat children who are in conflict with the law goes a long way in determining if we are redirecting them towards a better future or condemning them to a life of crime and isolation.

Diversion as a fundamental restorative justice principle is about rerouting children away from the formal criminal justice system toward rehabilitative, community-based programs👌

In light of this, we are currently in Lagos for a 3-day diversion sensitization and implementation workshop under the criminal justice reform component of the Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption (RoLAC) Programme funded by the @euinnigeria and implemented by @international_idea
