Nigerian Judges Call for End to Pre-Election Cases to Ease Judicial Burden

Nigerian judges are pushing for a halt to pre-election litigation, emphasizing that political parties should handle internal disputes rather than inundating the courts. The call was made at the 2025 Nigeria Judges Conference held at the Nigeria Judicial Institute in Abuja.

The judges stressed the need for modernizing court infrastructure, digitalizing judicial processes, and enhancing judicial training to improve efficiency and transparency in the justice system.
