The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Olukayode Ariwoolaa on Friday in Abuja lamented that Nigeria is currently at crossroads through a myriad of problems
Justice Ariwoola pleaded with judicial officers in the country to rise to the challenge and rescue the nation through forthright adjudication of crises that would be brought before them.
He said, the oath of office taken by Justice Lawal, “was a mandatory exercise required to align the conscience of our Judicial Officers with good conduct, fear of God and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to which we have all solemnly sworn to uphold under any condition”. “That is not my wish for your Lordship anyway. However, you should always be very careful and vigilant too. In everything you do in the course of adjudicating, you must consult your God, the Constitution and your conscience.
