The Federal Government has commenced plans to transform the Code of Conduct Tribunal into a full-fledged National Anti-Corruption Court with jurisdiction to handle corruption-related cases across the country.

The proposed reform is being pursued by the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Mainasara Kogo, in collaboration with the National Assembly, the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

According to the CCT, the proposed court will have seven judicial divisions across Nigeria, while the chairman will assume the status of a Chief Judge and members will become judges of the Federal High Court.

The tribunal said the new structure is expected to strengthen Nigeria's fight against corruption and improve the speed and effectiveness of adjudicating corruption cases.
