The appointment of judges in Nigeria has become something akin to a life-and-death contest
Mrs Ade-Ajayi stated, “Making the candidates’ names public gives room for objections where necessary and strengthen confidence in the judicial appointment process.”

“Corruption in the legal profession is now in full scale.’’
