President Muhammadu Buhari Wednesday suggested that criminal cases from the High Court to the Supreme Court should be concluded within 12 months, while civil cases should not last longer than 15 months.

Buhari said: “At the end, I lost all three cases. I wondered then, why it needed to take so long to arrive at a verdict and if I had won the case, someone who did not legitimately win the election would have been in office all that time. The President also lamented three other issues: multiple and conflicting court orders, judicial technicality rather than “clear common sense” and opaque process of appointing Judges.

Justice Muhammad stated that the virtual conference underscores the fact that the Bar is setting the pace in many areas of national life.
