The Vice President,who was represented by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice,Mr Abubakar Malami {SAN},said it was also important for the judiciary to introduce significant cots for delay occasioned especially by lateness,ill-preparedness or deliberate tactics.While alluding to plethora of statistics and judicial decisions especially a 2014 English Court of Appeal judgement where it was stated that cases take up to a generation to be resolved in Nigeria occasioned by catastrophic delays,' Osinbajo said stakeholders must now resolve to address the issue of delay once and for all in the collective interest of all.He took a swipe at some judges who would not sit on time and rise early and lawyers who file frivolous applications and employ other delay tactics as well as shoddy police investigation,and admonish them to desist from such.''If we can agree that these problems are against our collective interest as practitioners and stakeholders,then we must make a firm commitment to tackle the problems by changing our attitude and standing up for what is right,''.
