Danjuma stated this on Saturday at the 2016 and 2017 Valedictory service for graduating students of the Igbinedion University in Okada, Ovia North East Local Government Council of Edo. He said the role of the judiciary was to take decisions that would ensure the advancement of human rights in furtherance of the rule of law. Delivering a lecture on `The Judiciary as the last hope of the common man: A reality’, Danjuma said the judiciary had been identified with the rule of law and the strength of character and integrity that determine the capacity to adjudicate justice without fear or favour. He explained that the role of the judiciary was not governed by emotions, adding that sentiments had no place in law. He stressed that the judiciary had a role to play to all Nigerians, to ensure that remedy was served, adding that it was, therefore, wrong to ask ” if the judiciary was the last hope of the common man”? The Appeal Court judge said that it was the duty of the Court to do all it could in order not to defeat the aim of justice. “The Judiciary is not an oppressor but will evenly and dispassionately serve all. “Misconception is in most cases usually drawn concerning the judiciary by the masses. He, therefore, urged the graduating students to always stand neutral and not be intimidated by what he called ” utopian common man”. He also said the contention that there was “a common man” somewhere was wrong. Earlier, the Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Eghosa Osaghae, had said the College of Law of the institution was a flagship and a foundation college of the institution. Osaghae said the graduating students should remain bonafide ambassadors of the institution and continue to maintain the high standard of the institution. He gave assurance that the management of the institution would do its best possible to ensure that all the graduating students were admitted into law school. The Dean of the College, Prof. Rashidi Ijaodola, who said the valedictory service was an annual event at the institution, urged the students to be prepared at all times.]]>
