Retiring with a heavy burden of guilt, one of major reasons why NIGERIANS are suffering untold hardship today
Re: Chief Justice Of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola Retires At 70 by dododawa1: 3:39pm On Aug 22, 2024
Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, on Thursday, retired as the Chief Justice of Nigeria having clocked 70.

While delivering his valedictory speech at the Supreme Court complex in Abuja, Ariwoola disclosed that to suit the times and address current challenges, he signed off on the new Supreme Court Rules 2024 earlier this month.

He explained that upon assuming office as the CJN two years ago, he was concerned about the rules regulating procedures in the apex court, which had been in place for 39 years, predating the advent of the internet and electronic transactions.

He noted that although practice directions have been issued periodically over the years to meet the demands of justice, the substantive rules were still from 1985.

He said, “At the time the Supreme Court Rules 1985 were made, things that are now ubiquitous, like information technology, electronic transactions, and global telecommunication, were either not in existence or in their formative stages. How, then, could such outdated rules be adequate for today’s challenges?

“It was for this reason that I empaneled a Rules Committee to undertake the arduous task of reviewing the 39-year-old rules and the numerous extant practice directions comprehensively.

“I am glad to report that earlier this month, pursuant to the provisions of Section 236 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, I signed off on the New Supreme Court Rules 2024.”

Ariwoola expressed his belief that the rules of procedure of any court are crucial for its operation and must be dynamic and contemporary to meet the evolving demands of both the bar and the bench.

He left the judiciary worse than he met it. He employed over 200 people into the system, over 90% Yorubas. Even as chief justice of the nation, number four man in the country, he was repeatedly denied visa to the USA.

Happy retirement sir.

We anticipate Justice Kidirat Kekere-Ekun.

What Ariwoola can do, Kekere Ekun will do better.

First task, sentence Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the IPOB terrorist group to hades.
Happy slave

NaijaCrusader:
My response and answer is self explanatory and I have seen your English and I know your comprehension is not bad as well so it is obvious you guys just want to use a diversional tactics but the fact remains that the man is nepotistic and corrupt and our Judiciary hasn't been this lowly regarded by Nigerians.
Looting is stealing, nepotism is corruption,but if you want me to start explaining to you also that making a man who didn't compete in his party's primaries a senator (senator Lawan)speaks of corruption and some underhand dealings then I can't say anything more
You still ended up saying nothing as you did not provide any evidence of corruption against the man.

Just emotional outburst
