JUST IN: Judiciary Should Expect More Reforms, Says Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu says there will be more reforms in the country’s judiciary.

The president said court orders that truncate democracy will no longer be allowed.

Tinubu spoke on Monday during his maiden Democracy Day speech as president.

The president said he is determined to give the country a “vibrant judiciary that can be trusted to deliver justice and strengthen institutions”.

“It has become imperative to state here that the unnecessary illegal orders used to truncate or abridge democracy will no longer be tolerated,” he said.

“The recent harmonization of the retirement age for judicial officers is meant to strengthen the rule of law, which is a critical pillar of democracy. The reform has just started.”
