Sincere leadership, reformed judiciary will herald a new Nigeria, says Fagbohun

Former Vice Chancellor of Lagos State University , Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun, SAN, has said that sincere leadership and a reform of the judiciary is a critical mechanism for an effective federal system that would birth a Nigeria that is working for all.Former Vice Chancellor of Lagos State University , Prof.

“When the judicial system is efficient and effective , it will be authoritative in adjudication and earn the respect of the society. When it is otherwise, the consequences manifest in incidences of pervasive betrayals such as earlier mentioned and worsening constitutional tensions as are being experienced in the country today.

“As much as possible, the most qualified men and women were appointed. That can no longer be said about an appointment to the bench. It is asserted that the process of appointment to judicial positions is deliberately conducted to give undue advantage to the children, spouses and mistress of serving and retired judges and managers of judicial offices.

Speaking further, Fagbohun does not share the view that Nigeria’s problem has defied a solution. He noted that the country needs only sincere leadership, where people in authority prioritise collective interest above self-interest. He urged his friends, colleagues and Nigerians to remember him in prayer for Allah to guide and assist him.

“I know I have not been regular at UNIFEMGA. I’m making a commitment that I will try, inshallah, to be more regular in our events and participate more. I have a lot of other commitments, but I will try to do so. “Sometimes, when people say things about me, I looked around, whether it was somebody else. Of course, there are things people said that I know they are talking about me. But there are certain things they say sometimes that make me cry, especially when they talk about things they said I did that were good. I thank you all for all the good things you have said about me.”

“If you serve Allah, you’re also serving yourself. Allah has been kind to all of us despite our little efforts,” he added.

Nigeria's Lack of Seriousness in the Fight Against CorruptionThe lack of Nigeria’s seriousness in the fight against corruption is epitomised by the EFCC’s revival this January, of the N772 billion fraud cases of 13 former governors, who left office in 2007. There is evidence that a humongous sum of $4.5 billion in Nigeria’s Foreign Reserves could not be accounted for, after an audit by the Auditor-General of the Federation in 2022, as stated in a report released last month. Apparently, the big elephant in the room – corruption, is on display, which a former President said will kill Nigeria, if it was not killed. Paradoxically, no administration has demonstrated the resolve to confront this monster squarely
