AWARENESS AT BRIGADE GAMA A, NASSARAWA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND DALA TUDU, DALA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, KANO STATE

Rule of Law and Empowerment Initiative also known as Partners West Africa Nigeria (PWAN) is implementing the Greater Access to Defense and Justice (GADJET) project aimed at creating sustainable improvements to the criminal Justice system. In furtherance of this, the project established the Public Defender’s Office (PDO) to provide free legal services for less privileged persons in Kano State

The project also aims to increase the amount of pro-bono legal support offered by PDO Kano to indigents resident in Kano having legal challenges or issues and cannot afford the service of a lawyer. It is in furtherance of this that PWAN through the PDO organized awareness in Brigade Nassarawa Local Government Area and Dala Local Government Area as it has done in different areas within Kano Metropolis to educate people on activities of the PDO and issues relating to legal problems especially criminal issues.
