Govt’s House Gifts Will Enhance Judges’ Performance – CJN
The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, has commended the Federal Government for the construction of 40 Judges’ Quarters in the Katampe District in the nation’s capital, Abuja.
Kekere-Ekun said the gesture will boost the performance of judicial officers in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Speaking at the flag-off ceremony of the project, the CJN described the project as a significant milestone in the continuous effort of the government to improve the welfare of judicial officers in the FCT.
She added that judges needed peace of mind to operate efficiently and perform their duties with greater focus.
“Beyond the courtroom, a supportive and conducive living environment is essential to their ability to focus on the heavy responsibility entrusted to them.
“Judicial officers require peace of mind, security and comfort in their residences to fully dedicate themselves to the rigorous task of interpreting and applying the law.
“The construction of these residences is a practical step towards ensuring that judicial officers are well-supported; it reflects the recognition that the mental well-being of judicial officers is directly tied to their living conditions.
“These homes will provide a secure and tranquil environment enabling judicial officers to perform their duties with greater focus, efficiency and clarity of mind.
“The ability of judicial officers to perform their functions is strengthened when their well-being is prioritised and their work condition is conducive,” she said.
