CJN Issues Stern Warning To Judges Over Delayed Case ExecutionsThe Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, has warned that continued delays in case execution by judges could erode public confidence in the judiciary.

Kekere-Ekun expressed concern over the rising number of pending cases and the low rate at which judges are resolving suits. She stated, “We must be alarmed by the increase in pending cases and the inadequate disposal rates. As of the first quarter of 2024, there are 243,253 cases awaiting resolution in our superior courts, excluding the Supreme Court. This includes 199,747 civil cases and 43,506 criminal cases.”
She noted that during the last committee meeting, some judicial officers had not delivered any judgments within a quarter, which she deemed unacceptable. “It is crucial for us to acknowledge this troubling situation and refocus on improving our judicial performance,” she added.
The CJN encouraged judicial officers to leverage information technology and case management innovations to enhance their efficiency. She also advocated for alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation and arbitration, to expedite case resolutions and help reduce the judges’ workloads.
