  • Presentation at the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference, Abuja 2015 on Current Developments in Judicial Reforms in Nigeria
    PRESENTATION AT THE NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION ANNUAL GENERAL CONFERENCE, ABUJA 2015 ON CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN JUDICIAL REFORMS IN NIGERIA Introduction The words of the then Speaker of the Nigerian House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal at the public hearing of the bill for the enactment of the administration of Criminal Justice Bill vividly captures the need for continuous judicial reform of any nation. According to him “….human society is dynamic; the system of administration of justice cannot be static but must be improved to create more effective and efficient mechanisms, procedures and institutions for dealing with the new realities and challenges in the society. This is because it is impossible to have a sound economy without a solid foundation of good laws that can curb anti-social behaviours and other disruptive tendencies. As we develop plans and strategies for the economic and other forms of reforms, we also need to develop plans and programmes for creating sound laws and procedural systems consistent with our commitment to our legislative agenda.” One cannot but agree with the above submission as a sound economy is the surest engine of growth and the shortest route to tackling the challenges that confronts any given society. No nation, therefore, can boast to have achieved the best of reform in its judicial system at any given time without putting measures in place that allow for the continuous reform of its justice sector in line with the changes inherent in human society which also translates to changes in the economy. The role of law in promoting economic development cannot be underscored because most of human lives and interaction with each other are regulated by law.
