About
The National Judicial Council in Nigeria is very important for managing the country’s court system. It makes sure that judges and other legal workers deliver justice fairly. This council includes senior judges and important legal people. Their main job is to keep the justice system honest and open.
The council’s main tasks are to recommend judges for appointment and to discipline judges when needed. This way, only honest and fair people become judges. It also looks into complaints against judges to maintain high standards and keep the public’s trust strong.
Additionally, the council gives advice to the President and Governors on legal issues. This helps to create better policies and changes that improve how justice is served. By encouraging accountability and professionalism, the council helps people trust the justice system more.
