Abstract

The vast development in the socio, economic and political spheres of the contemporary society makes governance more demanding and cumbersome. This necessitates the rational for a system of administration where governmental powers and functions can legally be delegated to individuals and or corporate bodies otherwise known as administrative bodies to carry out the functions and powers of Government in modern society. Governmental powers and functions are traceable to the Constitution which provides the limits of such powers. Administrative agencies saddled with the responsibility of performing the functions of Government must be properly created and must at all times act within the scope of power created by the enabling law. Abuse by the administrative agencies in the exercise of their functions is inevitable, and hence this research through doctrinal methodology examines the system of law that oversees the internal operations of Government agencies through developments of administrative law principles. Although various theories in administrative law like red, green and amber light have emerged over the years with conflicting arguments, the court are nonetheless always ready to grant remedies to an aggrieved citizen whenever the administrative agencies exceed or abuse its powers.

Abstract

Criminal Justice Procedure (CJP) can be described as the collective means through which a person accused of an offence passes until the accusations have been disposed of or the assessed punishment concluded. Arguably, CJP in Nigeria took an enviable turn around with the enactment of a new principal enactment, Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) which has repositioned the CJP in Nigeria by addressing the seemingly inadequacies in Criminal Procedure Act (CPA) and Criminal Procedure Code (CPC), harmonizing the CPA and CPC, codifying most age-long judicial pronouncements on CPA and CPC and addressing human rights abuses in erstwhile applicable laws thereby catapulting the CJP in Nigeria to an enviable position in the comity of nations. Recent judicial pronouncements in Nigeria on ACJA are worrisome and questions the readiness of the Judiciary as a stakeholder in Criminal Justice System to address the menace of delay in criminal trials which the ACJA aimed to address by introducing novel provisions target towards speedy dispensation of justice in criminal trials. The research methodology used in this study is systematic review and normative, by analyzing principal and secondary enactments in Nigerian CJP with judicial interpretations. While emphasizing the prospects of the ACJA, this paper also highlighted the challenges and suggested solutions to same. Despite its defects, the ACJA is a landmark development in the Nigerian Criminal Justice Procedure and all States of the Federation are therefore enjoined to domesticate the law.
