Amadi is said to be the first judge of Nigeria’s national industrial court to be elevated to the Court of Appeal bench.

Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, President, Court of Appeal.

She applauded Mr Adejumo’s successor and incumbent President of the NICN, Benedict Kanyip, for his role in Mr Amadi’s elevation, noting that he nominated three judges of his court and, “never, at any point, indicated preference for any candidate. All he wanted was to see that NICN too is represented on the Court of Appeal’s bench.”

Mr Kanyip noted that with his elevation, Mr Amadi has made history, noting that he broke the jinx by being the first judge of the NICN to be elevated to the Court of Appeal. “This places a huge burden on you, because if you don’t represent us well, you have effectively shut the door for others. So, the burden on you is to represent us very well so that others can come behind you.”
