The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, has stated that the Justices of the Supreme Court are not a repository of knowledge, hence they are fallible and always receptive to correction.

According to a statement by the apex court’s Director of Press and Information, Dr Festus Akande, Justice Muhammad stated this during a courtesy visit to the Supreme Court by members of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria on Tuesday.

“We can’t claim to know it all. We are still learning because learning, as we all know, is a continuum. Our doors are wide open for constructive criticisms. Even our grammar, punctuation, have to be corrected to avoid any error in the rulings and judgments we give.” He asserted that it was a practice in force in Court of Appeal and Supreme Court to ensure that all judgments come out in an acceptable manner after all the necessary critics and corrections.

Justice Muhammad said, “The rules provide that each judge should give his own independent judgment but they are equally at liberty to adopt what has been offered.
