The Supreme Court of Nigeria is ever ready for any eventuality and well prepared to keep the country together as one indivisible entity through effective and efficient justice delivery, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad has said.
Justice Muhammad stated this while addressing the members of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), led by their Chairman, Professor Itse Sagay (SAN), who paid a courtesy visit to the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
A statement by the Director, Press and Information of the Supreme Court, Dr Festus Akande said the CJN revealed that the Apex Court, being the highest and final court in the country, is always very critical and conscious of every case that comes before it on appeal.

And as such, the Justices always put in concerted effort by doing a critical review of all facts and evidence before them to arrive at a decision in order to give justice to all parties in a free, fair and generally acceptable manner without any iota of equivocation.
“We are never above board as human beings, so we are open to constructive criticisms. It may interest you to know that before we deliver any ruling or judgment, no matter how small it is.
Even if it is only five sentences, we have to hold a conference with all the Justices on the panel and could even expand it in some critical situations to involve all the justices of the court.
“The sole aim of this practice is to ensure that justice is given in every case before us, no matter how infinitesimal it might be because we are the final court in the land.
