The president has disclosed plans to reorganise the judiciary to fortify the corruption war.

He spoke yesterday during a joint press conference with the Namibian leader, Mr. Hage Geingob, after a closed-door session at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Specifically, under the reorganisation plan for the sector, the president said some judges would be dedicated to deal with corruption cases where all those found wanting in their dealings would be prosecuted.

"We are willing but it is very difficult under this multi-party democratic system. We are getting the cooperation of countries.

"We are trying to sell the assets wherever we found them and bring the money into the Nigerian treasury. This is all I can say at this stage because we are reorganising the judiciary," Buhari said.

Geingob thanked the Nigerian government for the support to Namibia, including the deployment of Nigerian volunteers under the Technical Aid Corps to his country.

Meanwhile, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen, has canvassed continuous training for judges in maritime sector to enable them handle technical matters for efficient operations in the industry.

He stressed the crucial role of the maritime sector in the nation's economy, and called for efficient use of the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms which, he noted, has a proven record of expeditious resolution of maritime cases.

The CJN spoke on Tuesday at the15th International Maritime seminar for judges. The three-day event was in collaboration with the National Judicial Institute (NJI).

Justice Onnoghen, who said he had to shelve an originally scheduled meeting of the National Judicial Council (NJC), declared that judiciary had played its constitutional role in the growth of maritime industry.

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, said that considering the fundamental role of the maritime sector in facilitating conduct of global trade and commerce, there was need for requisite human capacity to take advantage of opportunities in the sector.

With a corrupt AGF on sit? With Obono-Obla enmeshed in a WAEC certificate scandal? A lopsided anti-corruption fight that have seen top APC criminal wriggled out of the hook or outrightly exonerated by the government.
APC government is just up to its usual charade.

After nearly 4years

Personally, i feel the Judiciary is the snag in the fight against corruption, Cause arrest are being made daily on corruption issues, yet we found out that the judiciary keep granting them bail, even with overwhelming evidence of corruption, they keep slowing down judgement...
For Nigeria to win this war against corruption must involved all institution of Government to be effective on the stand against corruption...

Buhari urges Judges to support anti-corruption war

this government kicks against corruption....the fight against corruption is not an easy task.... i totally concur to the fact that in order to fight against corruption there is need to re organize the judiciary....this is definitely a positive move in the war against corruption carried out by the president.. well done sir

Lol...More like Buhari urges judges to help him fight his enemies..

If you want to fight corruption, fight corruption. Don't fight opposition and perceived enemies and decieve yourself that you are fighting corruption...Things don't work like that..

Anyways, SaiBaba has already accepted defeat..

Yea trying to move the goal post again to suit the desires of Buhari

There is nothing wrong with the Judiciary

The problem is a baseless fight against corruption that can’t rely on facts and evidence

maximunimpact:

First Buhari recently said fighting corruption in democracy is difficult. Now he is planning to restructure the judiciary, isn't it obvious Buhari is out to pervert the democratic process and administration of justice?

Your accusations are unfounded. Buhari is planning to restructure the judiciary simply to make it more easy to fight corruption
