Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and National President of Zenith Environmental and Social Protection Network (ZESPRONET), George Ukaegbu, has called for comprehensive reforms of Nigeria’s judicial system, warning the institution can no longer be confidently described as the “last hope of the common man.”
Ukaegbu made the call in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, while speaking with journalists on the sidelines of ZESPRONET’s 2026 Dinner and Award Night.
He said the need for judicial reform was part of a broader challenge confronting the country, stressing that virtually every segment of the Nigerian system required urgent attention.
“It is not only the country’s judicial system that needs to be reformed; the other systems need to be attended to as well,” he said.
