#Throwback video highlights to Edo Justice Summit hosted mid-year by the Edo Justice Sector Reform Team with support from the Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption (RoLAC) Programme.
Following the success of this summit, state political will and other coordinated advocacy efforts, a Special Criminal Court 1 dedicated to trying cultism and kidnapping cases was established in the state. It took effect on 1st July 2026 ๐
The establishment of this specialized court eliminates legal delays, ensures swift judicial recourse, and reduces the number of awaiting-trial persons.
The #RoLAC Programme remains committed to supporting reforms that transform the legal system into a transparent, accessible, and accountable structure that serves all citizens irrespective of social class.

To ensure survivors of sexual and gender-based violence receive consistent, quality support wherever they are in Nigeria, International IDEA (@IntIDEA_NG), through the Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption (RoLAC) Programme @RoLACNG is conducting a national functionality assessment of 62 SARCs across 30 states.
The exercise brings together a multidisciplinary team of assessors to critically examine:
โ
Medical, psychosocial, legal and referral services,
โจโ
Infrastructure, equipment and accessibility, including for persons with disabilities, and
โจโ
Service delivery records, data management and safeguarding.
By verifying reported data against registers and case files, the assessment aims to provide fresh recommendations for closing service delivery gaps, strengthening accountability at all levels and ensure every SARC delivers dependable and inclusive survivor-centred care in Nigeria.
Through this evidence-based approach, RoLAC is helping to build stronger, more responsive and sustainable referral systems for survivors of SGBV across Nigeria ๐๏ธ๐

To improve the speedy responsiveness of investigating agencies in Nigeria, the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) @FIUNigeria with support from the anti-corruption component of the Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption (RoLAC) Programme is holding a 3-day national workshop.
The high-level meeting brings together representatives from all the investigating agencies operating within Nigeriaโs AML/CFT/CPF framework to extensively discuss and address:
1๏ธโฃ Intelligence gathering,
2๏ธโฃ Secure sharing, and
3๏ธโฃ Sensitive information management.
By strengthening inter-agency trust and collaboration, the workshop aims to dismantle communication gaps and bureaucratic bottlenecks that slow down critical investigations.
Through this enhanced synergy, the RoLAC Programme is effectively supporting these agencies to minimize Nigeriaโs vulnerability to crime๐

Before a single result comes in, the people running the election are already making headlines.
Election workers in the United States will be under intense pressure in the days ahead as millions of Americans head to the polls. Media coverage around the Midterms is taking many dimensions, from the security of election workers to the potential for disruptions.
The headlines are American. The challenges have a global dimension: protecting election workers, maintaining public trust and ensuring the process can be scrutinised.
International IDEA and @CarterCenter bring that global perspective to a short Q&A ahead of the vote, drawing on decades of electoral research and International IDEAโs data covering 1975โ2025.
It puts US elections in an international context and points readers towards resources on electoral standards, commitments to peaceful elections and managing electoral security risks.

With funding from the European Union @euinnigeria, Construction has started on the new @MirabelCentreNG at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.
This week we joined partners in Lagos to flag off the build, and it was a good day.
This shows our unwavering commitment to supporting survivors and providing safe spaces where they can recover and seek justice against perpetrators.
The new building is due to be commissioned next year. It will mean more space, better facilities, and a stronger setting for the care the Centre already provides. The promise behind it remains the same: a safe space for everyone who needs one.
Thank you to the European Union for the funding, and to every partner building this with us. ๐ช๐บ
