What the NBA President said: 

Akpata warned that is now more than ever the need for urgent reforms in the judiciary and to rebuild the almost dissipated confidence that Nigerians have in the judiciary and the wider legal profession in Nigeria.

“These should form the immediate first tasks for Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, who is expected to now take over as the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria. 

“The NBA welcomes the appointment of Justice Ariwoola and pledges its readiness to work with him and the judiciary in cleansing the Augean Stable and addressing the ills that have continued to plague, not just the judiciary but the entire legal profession”.

He also warned that it’s impossible to consider His Lordship’s retirement in isolation from the recent unprecedented developments at the Supreme Court, where 14 justices of the Court censured the outgone CJN over his handling of their welfare and related issues.
