Malami, represented by the Solicitor-General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Justice, Beatrice Jedy-Agba, stated this on Monday in Abuja during a special court session to mark the new legal year (2022/2023) for the Federal High Court.
According to the AGF, President Muhammadu Buhari has approved funds for it.

Malami said, “I would like to use this opportunity to appreciate the recent special intervention granted by His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, for the provision of funds and other logistics for the commencement of the second phase of prosecutions of Boko Haram suspects.
“It is my considered advisory that the fast-track innovations that were introduced in the electoral cases should also be extended to certain cases which are of high economic or commercial importance in view of the ripple effects of delay in the conclusion of such cases.”
Meanwhile, Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, faulted the National Assembly for amending the Electoral Act without inputs from the Judiciary.
