Chief Justice of Nigeria Addresses Concerns Over Judicial Integrity, Stresses Role of Ethics and Morality
Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, acknowledged that a few judges are damaging the reputation of the Nigerian judiciary.
Speaking on Saturday at an event organized by the Movement for Islamic Culture and Awareness (MICA), marking its 30th anniversary and the elevation of Justice Habeeb Adewale Abiru to the Supreme Court, Justice Kekere-Ekun highlighted the need for ethical accountability among judges.
While commending the majority of Nigerian judges for their knowledge and dedication, she warned that judges must recognize their accountability not only to society but also to God. She urged that the judiciary be aligned with fundamental ethical principles to maintain public trust and support for the law.
Justice Kekere-Ekun also emphasized that legal professionals must balance the law with ethical and moral principles rooted in society’s religious values.
This commitment to justice, she noted, influences public trust in the judiciary and highlights the legal system’s duty to resonate with the community’s moral convictions.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
