“In planning the next edition of the manual, I think the Senior Advocates of Nigeria and lawyers should be involved because their roles are crucial in such decision making process.” Nigeria Judge JudgeTraining
The judges would be trained on the usage of the Manual for Election Petition Tribunal as a way of broadening their scope of understanding its application.
Mr. Hermann Thiel said that their visit was to familiarise himself with the new Acting President of the Court of Appeal and intimate her on the organisation’s activities. Apparently, IFES also sponsors the production of EPT practice direction Manual developed by the Justices of the Court of Appeal, which is usually distributed to them during the conference.
“We also would like to brainstorm on what strategies to evolve, considering the realities on ground, because IFES brings all the judges together-about 250 in number for the debriefing Workshop/Review, but the realities on ground may not permit that to happen. So, we are suggesting the use of ICT tools as the key strategy on the way forward,” the Deputy Country Director said.
She suggested that if these manuals are made available ahead of time for the judges to study and follow-up workshops are organised specifically to address issues to be raised by the 250 judges who participate in the Election Petition Tribunal, it would ease the tension being faced due to insufficient time for the study and assimilation of the guidelines, as contained in the manual.
