She noted that since taking office, the Attorney General has efficiently managed case files, provided timely legal opinions, and eliminated backlogs, resulting in satisfied litigants who commend her determination .

She emphasised that the Attorney General's efforts led to the renovation of the Ministry of Justice in various zones, including Nnewi, Otuocha, and Aguata, which now boast air-conditioned facilities and new furniture, all made possible under Governor Soludo's administration.


Mrs Onyekwelu also highlighted the Attorney General's remarkable work ethic, which has earned her numerous awards. The latest recognition was the ADA Anambra Award, presented to her by women in appreciation of her outstanding performance since taking office.


Special Adviser to the Attorney General on Legal Matters, Uchey Martins-Mmaju (Esq), highlighted the Attorney General's significant reforms in the justice sector. These reforms included the establishment of virtual hearing facilities in 20 high courts and four correctional centers, facilitating the passage of the State Multi-door Courtrooms bill, and creating Specialized Courts to handle cases involving children and sexual offenders.
