Cross River State has joined the ranks of states that have established a justice sector reform team to drive justice sector reforms in the state. This follows the formal inauguration of the team by the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Okoi Ikpi Itam on April 28, 2015. Justice Itam attended the last JSRT Network Conference Meeting in November 2014 as an observer and following the presentations that were made by existing teams decided to establish a reform team in the state. After the inauguration, the J4A programme facilitated a two-day retreat for the team to develop project management skills, promote joint working and develop priorities for the next one year.
