He added: “I wish to state that any effort at judicial reform without the acquiescence, active participation and cooperation of judicial administrators in the judicial sector will be an exercise in futility.
“As court administrators, it would not be out of place to state that you all play an integral role in maintaining an efficient, impartial and transparent system of administration of justice.
“You must work harder to fulfill your statutory roles and obligations, which require that you act in accordance with due process while guaranteeing strict compliance with the ethics of your office and the Code of Conduct for court employees.
“I encourage you to remember that your role as Judicial Administrators provide the fillip that ensures the overall success of any judicial system.
“Your actions and inactions can affect the speed and quality of the delivery of justice while endangering the confidence in our courts.
“You must work closely with your Heads of Courts while maintaining a respectful relationship with their lordships (the judges).
“Above all, I enjoin you to have the fear of the Almighty God in the discharge of your responsibility in the day to day running of the Judiciary. The fear of God is the backbone and beginning of wisdom. Leadership, which lacks the. Wisdom is bound to fail,” the CJN said.
NJI’s Administrator and former Chief Judge of Delta State, Justice Rosaline Bozimo said of the workshop was intended to focus on the role of the Administrators in the realisation of the various reform initiatives being introduced by the current leadership of the Judiciary.
Justice Bozimo, who stressed the importance of the role of the category of court officials attending the workshop, noted that they are indispensable assistants to the judges.
She said the importance requires that they possess a wide range of qualities, which includes a sound knowledge of the law, administration, leadership skills and an honest and exemplary character.
