President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared open the 6th Economic and Financial Crimes Commission/National Judicial Institute Capacity Building Workshop for Justices and Judges at the National Judicial Institute (NJI), Abuja.
Delivering the President’s remarks, Vice President Kashim Shettima identified frivolous appeals, alleged intimidation of judges by lawyers and judgments delivered on grounds of technicalities as some of the major challenges impeding the war against corruption in Nigeria.
“I noted that until these challenges are curtailed, they will continue to hamper the speedy adjudication of corruption cases.
“I, however, acknowledged that prosecution of corruption cases has improved remarkably, following the justice sector reforms in the last few years.
“The capacity-building workshop is a platform to collectively raise a strong voice against Nigeria’s common enemy called corruption,” he said.
