    Few Judges, Lawyers Are Giving Nigerian Judiciary Bad Name – CJN

    Hon. Justice Kudirat Motonmori Okatokubo Kekere-Ekun, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), has admitted that some lawyers and justices are giving the judiciary a bad name in the discharge of their duties.

    Speaking at a ‘Public Discourse on Ethics, Morality and the Law organised by Movement for Islamic Culture and Awareness (MICA) to mark the elevation of  Hon. Justice Habeeb Adewale Abiru to the Supreme Court and their 30th anniversary, Hon. Justice Kekere-Eku, in her speech, praised the judiciary for having excellent and hardworking judges but admitted that quite a few of them are painting them bad.

    “I want to say that our lawyers are morally upright, courageous and hard working in the dispense of justice even I know some few as ones among us are giving us bad names,” she said.

    “In Nigeria, we are people of faith and our different faiths teach us uprightness and morality, so we understand what is right and wrong.”

    The CJN however challenged Nigerians to be the change agents they desperately needed to see in the country, saying it is the responsibility of all Nigerians to effect the desired changes they want to see.

    “However, the changes we all require and want to see in the society is the responsibility of all of us and not just for t he judiciary and the justices or the police and politicians.

    “It is for all of us to ensure that we bring about the changes we clamour for. All of us must be responsible in effecting the changes we so much desire to see in the society.”
