(Reform Kuje). This project has similar outcomes with the project suggested in this
paper. The project is funded by the United States Department for International
Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INLC). Other partners of the project include;
Partners Global, West Africa Nigeria and Network of University Law Institutions. The
students, under this project, have interviewed and managed the cases over 60 pre-trial
detainees at the Kuje Correctional Facility. In addition, on a general note under this
project, 10,326 court dates for 836 detainees were inputted into a designated system
after training with Nigeria Correctional Services staff and 475 pre-trial detainees in
Kuje Correctional Centre were interviewed by students, over 200 detainees were
granted access to Justice 66.
To analyse the effect of this type of project on students and to get the feedback of
students in general, a questionnaire was given to the first 15 students that were
engaged in this project. The result of the questionnaire 67 showed that indeed, projects
like the Kuje Reform Project and others alike strengthens the skills of students and has
quiet an impact on vulnerable people in the society seeing that it has created access to
justice for them. This impact, on both students and stateless persons, is what this
proposed project will hopefully achieve.
