The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has expressed concern over the inadequate welfare of judiciary officers nationwide.
NBA President, Yakubu Maikyau, pointed out that the recent deaths of Justice Chima Nweze and John Mallong have highlighted the urgent need to review the working conditions of judicial officials. He emphasized that the loss of these Judges and Justices indicated a disregard for their health and well-being, which he deemed unacceptable.
During a condolence visit to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kayode Ariwoola, and the family of the late Justice Chima Nweze, the NBA President stated, “In the last couple of weeks, we have lost judges and justices to the cold hands of death.
This again brings to the fore the issues relating to the welfare of judicial officers and calls for an urgent review of their working conditions. The loss of judges and justices in circumstances that suggest neglect for their health and well-being is completely unacceptable.”
Maikyau offered his condolences to Justice Nweze’s family and encouraged them to find solace in the knowledge that he led a purposeful life.
The NBA President also assured the family of the Bar’s support and readiness to fully participate in organizing a dignified burial ceremony for the departed Justice of the Supreme Court.
