The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed, has said there is no hostility or adverse feeling amongst the Justices of the Supreme Court. This is even as the CJN blamed the state of the economy for the poor conditions of service of the Justices of the Supreme Court.
The CJN, while reacting to a letter purportedly written by his brother justices of the Supreme Court said the issue is receiving the needed attention.
The justices had in a letter to the CJN lamented the state of affairs in the Supreme Court and demanded better conditions of service.
The CJN, through his senior media aide, Mr Ahuraka Isah, said the economic situation in the country also affected the running of the court.
The justices had said in a letter that, ‘’Contrary to what used to be the norm in the past where Justices were nominated to attend two to three foreign workshops and training per annum with an accompanying person for reasons of old age but since the current CJN assumed office, only two workshops in Dubai and Zanzibar were organized and the Justices were not accorded the privilege of travelling with accompanying persons as it was the practice.
