The Supreme Court has complained against the workload of the court which it attributed to gaps in the Nigeria constitution.

The presiding justice of the seven-member panel hearing the suit by states against the federal government over the naira redesign and swap policy, Justice Inyang Okoro, said on Wednesday that the apex court was being burdened with cases that ought not to get there.

He said the National Assembly did not pay attention to important areas in its amendment of the Constitution, except things that matter to them.

He said, “A wife slaps the husband, they will come to the Supreme Court, for what, something that the head of the family can sort it out, you bring it to the Supreme Court?

“Landlord and tenant are quarrelling, it goes to the Supreme Court.

“Those who have the opportunity to influence our constitution should do something.”

On her part, Justice Amina Augie said the rush to file matters at the Supreme Court was influenced by the quest by lawyers to meet the requirement for the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
