The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, on Monday urged six newly inaugurated judges of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) to flee from temptations as their reputation and integrity mattered most.
Justice Ariwoola who gave the warning said: “I am making it clear to you to keep your heads high above the murky waters of corruption and favouritism.
“You must also redouble your efforts and dialogue with your conscience because you have a divine mandate to justify your appointments,” he stressed, adding: “Industrial disputes and litigations are on a steady rise; you should be consciously on your toes knowing that Nigeria ranks among the most litigious country”.
He also urged them to give good accounts of themselves as none would be allowed to drag the name of the judiciary in the mud.
The six newly sworn-in Judges are: Subilim Emmanuel Danjuma, Muhammad Adamu Hamza, Damachi-Onugba Joyce Agede, Hassan Muhammed Yakubu, Buhari Sanni and Sanda Audu Yelwa.
