The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, says the construction of 40 Judges’ Quarters in the Katampe District in the nation’s capital, Abuja, will boost the performance of judicial officers in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The CJN, who spoke on Monday at the flag-off ceremony of the project, described the project as a significant milestone in the continuous effort of the government to enhance the welfare of judicial officers in the FCT.

“Beyond the courtroom, a supportive and conducive living environment is essential to their ability to focus on the heavy responsibility entrusted to them,” she said.

Justice Kekere-Ekun said judges need peace of mind to operate efficiently and perform their duties with greater focus.

“Judicial officers require peace of mind, security and comfort in their residences to fully dedicate themselves to the rigorous task of interpreting and applying the law.

“The construction of these residences is a practical step towards ensuring that judicial officers are well-supported; it reflects the recognition that the mental well-being of judicial officers is directly tied to their living conditions.

“These homes will provide a secure and tranquil environment enabling judicial officers to perform their duties with greater focus, efficiency and clarity of mind.

“The ability of judicial officers to perform their functions is strengthened when their well-being is prioritised and their work condition is conducive,” she said.

The event was also attended by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike; and the President of the Court of Appeal of Nigeria, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem; among other dignitaries.

On his part, Wike stressed the need for judicial officers to have a robust welfare package including housing.

The minister said with the guarantee of their houses, judges would be firm in delivering judgements and courageous in doing their work.

He said 70% of funds for the project had been released after its approval by the Federal Executive Council last month. He said out of the 40 units to be constructed, 20 will be allocated to the FCT High Court, 10 to the Federal High Court, and 10 to the Court of Appeal.
