Tinubu Calls for Judicial Reform to Combat Corruption
President Bola Tinubu declared that corruption in Nigeria cannot be eradicated without an independent and reform-minded judiciary. He made this statement on Tuesday in Abuja during the annual Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and National Judicial Institute (NJI) Capacity Building Workshop for Judges and Justices.
Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Tinubu commended the EFCC for organizing the 8th edition of the workshop, themed “Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Financial Crimes in a Digital Age.” He highlighted the necessity for the judiciary to adapt to modern crimes, which have become more sophisticated due to technological advancements. Tinubu urged the judiciary to eliminate procedural loopholes that allow criminals to evade justice and called for a comprehensive overhaul of the justice system.
He emphasized that corruption affects all sectors of government and must be addressed collectively, stating that the judiciary must prioritize public good over technicalities that protect the guilty.
