The Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory, Justice Hussein Baba Yusuf has commended the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, Mr Nyesom Wike
for his unprecedented infrastructural development and bold interventions that have continued to advance justice sector reform.
The commendation came on Monday at the official flag-off for the design and construction of residences for heads of courts in the Federal Capital Territory. Justice Yusuf described the event as a landmark which occasion offers members of the judicial arm of government an opportunity to acknowledge a leadership that situates justice at the heart of national development.
“The prioritization of purpose-built residences for heads of courts underscores a
deep appreciation for the conditions under which justice is
conceived, deliberated, and delivered. The initiaive is
therefore not merely architectural; it is a strategic affirmation
of the welfare, security, and independence of judicial
officers, elements essential to a Credible and efficient
judiciary. A supportive environment for the bench is inseparable from an effective rule of law, and this project
embodies the convergence of infrastructural foresight with
judicial reform,” he said.
Yusuf recalled that as Governor of Rivers State, the issue of welfare of
Justices and Judges had agitated Wike’s mind which was why he ensured that the welfare of Judges and judiciary
staff was made a priority under that administration.
“Since his assumption of
office in the FCT as Hon. Minister, an onlooker who is not
familiar with the spade of development in the FCT would
think that you only cater for the judiciary. The truth however
is that the many things you do for the judiciary does not
form any fraction of your developmental stride in the FCT.
“I would not want to bore this audience with details of your
interventions for the judiciary. But the truth is that you have
demonstrated capacity and understanding of the job. You are simply the man for this assignment,” he said.
The Chief Judge also expressed appreciation to the Attorney-General of
the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, for his collaborative efforts which, he said, highlights a shared national commitment to
creating conditions that enable judges and court staff to
discharge their duties with professionalism, dignity, and
independence. He urged the government and all Nigerians to continue an fostering
environment where justice is accessible, administered
promptly, and administered with integrity.
