FIDA Nigeria and MacArthur Foundation Join Forces: Statewide Workshop Enhances Capacity on Plea Bargain for Corruption Cases

Throughout the past week, FIDA Nigeria, in collaboration with the MacArthur Foundation, conducted a one-day Capacity Building workshop on Plea Bargain as a means to expedite the resolution of corruption cases. This workshop spanned across FIDA’s implementing states, including Bayelsa, Ekiti, Kano, Anambra, and Rivers.

The initiative was prompted by the success of the National Capacity Building workshop held in Abuja in September 2023, where participants, predominantly comprising criminal justice actors, highlighted the need for state-level training.

The primary objective of this workshop was to bolster participants’ capacity and furnish them with a comprehensive understanding of plea bargain, covering its concept, principles, mechanisms, and challenges.
