The Chief Judge of the
Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, on Wednesday, cautioned judges against
actions that could put the court in bad light.
Justice Tsoho made the
remarks at the opening of the 36th Annual Judges Conference in Abuja.
“I encourage Your
Lordships to always be wary of actions that will put us and indeed, the court,
in bad light.
“We have managed in
this new beginning, to arrange interactive discussions in the course of this
conference.
“It is my hope that
Your Lordships will appreciate such arrangement,” he said.
Justice Tsoho expressed happiness that the court and its
judges were not captured in any negative news as a result of the elections held
in Edo and Ondo states.
He restated that the
process of appointing new judges had commenced.
“However, efforts will
be made to ensure that there is equitable representation on the Bench of the
court,” he said.
Tsoho, who sought the
unalloyed cooperation of the judges and staff, urged them to put in more
efforts to tackle the upsurge that would follow the eventual control of the
coronavirus with regard to increase in the number of cases and attendant
services.
The judge, who thanked
President Muhammadu Buhari for his unflinching support for the judiciary, also
thanked the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Ibrahim Muhammad and members of
the National Assembly for their efforts.
