@article{2017:selkur:rules_and_, title = {RULES AND CHALLENGES FOR AN EFFICIENT AND TRANSPARENT CRIMINAL PROCEEDING IN NIGERIA VIS A VIS CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTSBARR.}, year = {2017}, note = {The need to transform the effectiveness and efficiency of the justice system in Nigeria has necessitated this write-up/lecture. Criminal justice delivery in Nigeria is marred with so many short-comings and lacks transparency. However, the constraints for an effective and transparent criminal proceeding in Nigeria can only be solved by embracing the reforms in the administration of the criminal Justice Act, considering its successful adoption and use in some other jurisdictions-Lagos and federal level. This lecture aims at examining in extensio some of the challenges that have stalled the efficiency and transparency of criminal proceeding/trial in Nigeria. In doing so, this paper will focus on the challenges, prospects alongside the implication of the new Administration of criminal justice Act as an antidote to the effective realization of criminal justice delivery in Nigeria. The topic will however, be strictly followed so as not to exceed its scope. To achieve this, reliance has been placed on secondary sources emanating from books, and articles in conference papers and other materials. This paper will further strengthen the justice sector with the resultant effect of enhancing an independent and effective criminal justice administration in Nigeria and Africa at-large.}, journal = {KAS African Law Study Library}, pages = {486--497}, author = {SELKUR, BARR.
