President Bola Tinubu, on Monday, disclosed that frivolous appeals, alleged intimidation of judges by lawyers, and judgments delivered on grounds of technicalities remain some of the major challenges impeding the war against corruption in Nigeria.
Tinubu who was represented by the vice president Kashim Shettima stated this when he declared open the 6th Economic and Financial Crimes Commission/National Judicial Institute Capacity Building Workshop for Justices and Judges at the National Judicial Institute, Abuja.
He noted that these factors will continue to hamper the speedy adjudication of corruption cases until they are tackled.
Shettima described the capacity-building workshop as a platform to collectively speak out against Nigeria’s common enemy, corruption.
