The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, has called for a responsive, efficient and specialised system of admiralty justice capable of resolving maritime disputes in a timely and effective manner.
The CJN disclosed that the maritime sector serves as a vital channel for the movement of goods and services, facilitates international trade, supports economic growth and contributes significantly to employment and national revenue.
Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, while declaring the 18th International Maritime Seminar for Judges open Wednesday in Abuja, emphasised the importance of effective and prompt dispensation of admiralty justice, noting that maritime disputes often involve complex, time-sensitive and cross-border transactions.
