Abstract
The administration of criminal justice all over the world is infested with problems. The problems are undoubtedly more in number and seriousness in a Third World country such as ours, Nigeria. This paper identifies and 1 explains in some details only some of the more serious of the problems in Nigeria. It does so within the context of the five major stages involved in the administration of criminal justice which includes: charges and pleas; bail and remand; trial and legal representation; judgment and sentencing; as well as appeals. The paper then concludes by offering some useful solutions to each of the problems identified and explained in the paper, calling upon the Third Nigerian Republic to implement those recommendations for a better administration of justice in the country.
