Minister of Interior, Alhaji Rauf Aregbesola has appealed to state governments to speed up the justice delivery system in their various states.

The minister made the appeal in Abuja at the news briefing on the successes recorded by security agencies in the fight against insecurity.

Alhaji Aregbesola said the major challenge faced by the Nigerian Correctional Service was the awaiting trial process as a result of the slow justice delivery system in states.

The minister said presently, over 75 thousand inmates occupy various custodian centres across the country.

Alhaji Aregbesola, who acknowledged that correctional centres had recently suffered various attacks resulting in jailbreaks, the federal government had strengthened the centres with tougher measures.

The Interior Minister argued that the security challenges in the country preceded the present administration.

He, however, vowed that the ultimate goal of President Muhammadu Buhari-led government was to restore total and lasting peace to every part of Nigeria by December, this year.
