High Court Online Affidavits
According to Agwu, the platform allows users to obtain affidavits for purposes such as loss of items, age declarations, and name changes. “All that’s required is to log in to portal.fhc.gov.ng and follow the instructions,” he said.
Long further explained that, for now, the platform handles only non-case-related affidavits. Affidavits used in court cases still need to be processed manually.

Affidavits filed to support a case are still done manually because of the peculiar disposition in such Affidavits.
He reiterated the need for people to be aware that henceforth, “they don’t necessarily have to be physically present to procure the type of Affidavits mentioned above,” he noted.
