Why the Chief Justice of Nigeria Must End Nepotism and Abuse of Power in Judicial Appointments
In this hard-hitting opinion piece, human rights lawyer Chidi Anselm Odinkalu argues that Nigeria’s judicial appointment process has been captured by nepotism, favoritism, and abuse of power. Citing alleged insider advantages, opaque screening processes, and the growing trend of judicial “hereditary succession,” Odinkalu warns that public trust in the judiciary is at risk. He calls on the Chief Justice of Nigeria to urgently reform the system by publishing candidates’ scores and restoring transparency to judicial appointments, especially in the ongoing Federal High Court selection process.
