A total of 117 state attorneys in the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) have been promoted to the rank of senior state attorney.
According to a press statement by the DPP’s office, the latest promotions are aimed at motivating the attorneys and enhancing prosecution service delivery in the country.
“These promotions will also pave the way for the recruitment of more than 70 state attorneys to address the longstanding staffing gap in the ODPP and further bolster the administration of criminal justice,” the press statement reads.
The promoted attorneys had served as state attorneys for more than eight years without promotion, a scenario that had demoralised them.

Last year, during the national symposium of prosecutors, the DPP revealed that she didn’t have offices in 54 districts. Further, she revealed that 73 courts countrywide did not have a prosecutor attached to them on a full time basis due to lack of suffi0cient prosecutors.
As of last year, the office of the DPP had 325 state prosecutors against the approved structure of 862, representing 40 percent of the vacancies filled.
