I’ll Restore Nigerians’ Confidence In Judiciary – Kekere-Ekun

Newly inaugurated Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, has promised to strive to regain Nigerians’ confidence in the country’s judiciary.

She spoke yesterday after President Bola Tinubu urged her to uphold integrity, defend judicial independence, and pursue reforms to maintain public trust during her swearing-in as the country’s head of the third arm of government.

Speaking to State House correspondents after the swearing-in ceremony, Kekere-Ekun promised to elevate the judiciary to greater heights, improve its reputation and instill more confidence in the system.

Kekere-Ekun emphasised that the judiciary’s improvement is a collective responsibility, not a task for one person alone.

“We will take the judiciary to higher heights,” she said, acknowledging that there are areas needing improvement. “A better judiciary is for the benefit of the entire nation.

“Whatever shortcomings we see today, we are all members of society, and if we want to see improvement, let the change start with every one of us,” Leadership reports.
