The Federal High Court has created a dedicated desk to handle Freedom of Information (FOI) requests and other related enquiries from the media and members of the public about its operations.

The court’s Director of Information, Catherine Oby Christopher, announced this in a statement yesterday in Abuja.

The statement reads: “In line with the commitment of the Federal High Court of Nigeria to uphold transparency, promote accountability, and enhance public access to information, the court hereby announces the establishment and operationalisation of Freedom of Information (FOI) Desk.

“The Information/FOI Desk has been created to serve as a central point for receiving enquiries from journalists and members of the public; submitting letters, formal FOI requests, and related correspondence, as well as providing guidance on accessing public records and information in line with the Freedom of Information Act.

“Located at the Federal High Court headquarters in Abuja, the desk is fully staffed with trained personnel ready to assist individuals and organisations seeking information about the court’s activities, decisions, and operations, while ensuring compliance with legal and procedural requirements.

“This initiative reflects the court’s ongoing efforts to foster open communication, support the constitutional right to information.”
