By Ikechukwu Nnochiri

ABUJA— The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, has said the success of any judicial reform will depend on the support of lawyers.

Speaking after receiving a delegation from the outgoing leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), the CJN stressed the need for continued partnership between the Bench and the Bar.

According to the CJN, the legal profession and the Judiciary share a common responsibility in promoting the efficient administration of justice and the rule of law.

In a statement issued on Sunday by Mr. Tobi Soniyi, the Senior Special Assistant on Media to the CJN, she assured the delegation that the Supreme Court remains committed to continually improving the electronic filing platform in response to the practical experiences of court users.
