Abdullahi said journalists must be in tune with the current and emerging developments, not just in the judiciary but in the society at large, “as freedom of speech is a fundamental right guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, (as amended).”
“The judiciary as an important stakeholder plays a critical role in ensuring and entrenching sustainable solutions to daunting legal challenges especially as it affects the smooth running of government in Nigeria,” he said.
