The Public and Private Development Centre (PPDC) has denied a media report claiming that it lost funding from the United States and scaled down its operations.
PPDC, in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja, described the report as misleading and factually inaccurate.
The organisation said it had not lost U.S. funding and was currently implementing two justice-sector reform projects funded by the people of the United States through the U.S. Government.
The projects are the Reforming Pre-Trial Detention in Nigeria (RPDN) Phase II and the Court Administration and Case Management (CACM) project.
According to PPDC, both projects are active and delivering measurable impact across several states in Nigeria.
It said its U.S.-supported programmes had contributed to justice delivery reforms nationwide, including the deployment of digital case management systems in 24 High Courts and several State Ministries of Justice.
The organisation said over 17,000 case files had been digitised and uploaded to judicial and prosecutorial case management platforms.
PPDC also said it supported the establishment of virtual courtrooms linking courts with correctional facilities, adding that more than 85 virtual court hearings had been conducted, while eight courtrooms had been equipped with virtual hearing facilities.
The organisation said the interventions had helped to reduce delays, transportation costs and security risks in the justice system.
It added that it had provided pro bono legal services to more than 20,000 detainees through the Police Duty Solicitor Scheme (PDSS).
According to PPDC, the interventions supported the release, bail, discharge or acquittal of thousands of pre-trial detainees, including minors and other vulnerable persons.
The organisation said it had also carried out capacity-building programmes for judges, magistrates, prosecutors, police officers, correctional officials and law clinics across several states.
PPDC said its interventions continued to expand under its current project cycle, adding that periodic operational reviews and adjustments were normal practice and should not be interpreted as organisational decline or loss of donor confidence.
The organisation reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, accountability and the advancement of justice, human rights and good governance in Nigeria.
