Why saints may not save judiciary, by Senate panel | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

Nigeria’s judiciary has fallen so low that not even saints may salvage it, according to a Senate panel.The panel lamented that the judiciary came to this sorry pass with the attendant high level of corruption because of a paucity of funds.But the panel is hopeful that a special intervention fund could bring sanity to the third arm of government.

Bamidele, who made the comment in the presence of the two nominees and other justices, including Binta Nyako and Okon Abang, however commended President Buhari for increasing the budgetary provisions for the judiciary on a yearly basis.“Within the last four years, budgetary provisions for the judiciary have been experiencing a marginal increase under the current administration, but it is not yet Uhuru.

Also, at the conference yesterday, the Special Adviser to the President on Economic Matters in the Office of the Vice-President, Dr. Adeyemi Dipeolu, and Senator Shehu Sani held different views on the closure of the nation’s borders.The Kenya VP declared that the huge illicit financial flows out of the continent was a product of corruption. He said the development remained a challenge to efforts towards socio-economic development of the continent.

“A lot has been said about the AfCFTA, but I think what we need to remind ourselves is that the idea to integrate the continent economically is not a new one. The idea of an African free trade area is coming back to that reality that our future and destiny are tied to each other. But there are challenges that we have to be ready to face. One of them is what we are experiencing in the country today.
