The Federal High Court of Nigeria has established a Freedom of Information (FOI) Desk as part of efforts at upholding transparency, promote accountability, and enhance public access to information.
The Director of Information of the Court, Mrs Catherine Oby Christopher, who confirmed the development in a statement at the weekend, noted that the step is in line with the commitment of the Court not to keep anybody or organization in the dark on its day to day activities.
She added that the Information/FOI Desk was created to serve as a central point for receiving inquiries from journalists and members of the public; submitting letters, formal FOI requests, and related correspondences.
