Justice Aloma Mukhtar, Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) while delivering an address at the swearing in Justice Inyang Okoro as Justice of the Supreme Court in Abuja on Friday urged judicial officers to embark on robust interpretation of laws to assist in conflicts and human rights mediations.
“A firm stance will enable the judiciary earn credibility, promote justice, foster peace, contribute to societal recovery and most importantly promote the rule of law.
“Let me, therefore, charge you to join hands with your brother justices of this court in order to continue to sustain the confidence of the general public in the judiciary.
“The code of conduct for judicial officers is always there to guide you. I have every confidence that you would not fail this court and the nation,’’ she said.
Mukhtar further urged the new justice to strive hard to discharge his duties in accordance with the oath of his office.
