The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has launched an online portal for the public to procure affidavits from the court.
It was learnt that the innovation was introduced by FHC Chief Judge, Justice John Tsoho.
The initiative, according to available information, brings the court in tune with digital global best practices.
A visit to the Lagos division of the court on Friday by newsmen, the court’s Deputy Chief Registrar Mr. Godwin Longe arranged an inspection of the facility’s new ICT department headed by Mr. Agwu Charles.

“It is now a norm that the Affidavit for loss of items, age declaration, change of name, etc can now be done via portal.fhc.gov.ng and following the instructors.

Giving more details, DCR Longe explained that at the moment, the portal can only process Affidavits that are non-cases related
“Affidavits filed to support a case are still done manually because of the peculiar disposition in such Affidavits,” Longe said.
He emphasized that the public need to be aware that henceforth, “they don’t necessarily have to be physically present to procure the type of Affidavits mentioned above.”
