Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, says the move by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to reform its system, as part of efforts to mend relations with African countries is a welcome development.

Professor Osinbajo stated this on Tuesday when he received the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Mr. Karim Khan, who was on a courtesy visit to the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

According to him, the proposal to reform the international justice system would reassure African countries that there is room for negotiations.

The Vice President stressed the need to create a system that builds relationships and credibility among member states.

In his remarks, the Mr. Khan ICC prosecutor acknowledged Nigeria’s role in Africa and expressed excitement at the visit, saying it came at a critical time in the history of the continent.
