“In this room, we have a group of dedicated professionals who play a pivotal role in upholding the pillars of justice in our society. As police investigators, you are the frontlines of truth-seeking, meticulously piecing together the puzzle of evidence to unearth the facts hidden beneath the surface. Prosecutors, on the other hand, wield the responsibility of presenting the case in a manner that respects the principles of fairness and impartiality, we must remember to:

“This workshop provides a golden opportunity to delve deeper into these legal frameworks, understand their distinctions and implications, and better equip you to deliver for citizens.

“You are entrusted with the task of preserving the rights of all individuals, regardless of their circumstances. By engaging with these laws and rules, I trust that you will fortify your commitment to creating a society where the rule of law reigns supreme and where fairness prevails over bias.

“Let this workshop be a platform for learning from each other’s experiences and perspectives, thereby refining a collective approach to investigations and prosecutions.

“On behalf of UNICEF and specifically the Chief of Field Office Kano, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the organizers for orchestrating this valuable workshop and to all of you for dedicating your time and energy to be here. I have no doubt that the knowledge gained, and the connections formed during this workshop will resonate in your professional endeavors, ultimately contributing to a more just and equitable society for the people of Kano State.
