The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, has called on judges to treat litigants with respect, saying that a situation where judges treat court users with disdain is not acceptable.
Addressing newly appointed judges and khadis at an induction course for new judges organised by the National Judicial Institute in Abuja on Monday, Justice Mohammed also warned judges not to allow their religious beliefs to influence the way they treat litigants.
In her welcome address, the Administrator of the NJI, Justice
Rosaline Bozimo, said the course was important as it teaches new judges ethics and the code of conduct, among others.
She urged them to avoid impropriety and uphold justice at all times.
Bozimo also advised the new judges to refrain from any conduct that will compromise their duty, adding that they should refrain from corrupt acts.
