The National Judicial Council, NJC, after its 110th meeting on 14th January, recommended the 14 names to the President for appointment as judges.

The CJN stated that their appointment followed one of the most rigorous, transparent, and technology-enhanced selection processes ever undertaken in the history of judicial appointments in the country.

She admonished them not to allow either praise or criticism distract them from their constitutional duty. She said their judgments must speak with clarity, and their conduct must be above reproach, while ensuring that the courtrooms are orderly.

The Chief Justice of Nigeria maintained that the judicial reform is total and would be all inclusive towards restoring the Lost Glory of the Judiciary.

She posited that being an important arm of government tasked with ensuring Justice for mankind, the Judiciary will continue to live up to its billing for quick dispensation of justice for all and sundry.
