Judicial Independence Tied To Security – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has said judges need safety, dignity and a stable environment to properly carry out their duties, stressing that judicial independence depends on more than legal provisions alone.

He made the remarks on Wednesday during the commissioning of 10 residential units for Federal High Court Justices in Katampe District, Abuja.

Vice President Kashim Shettima represented him at the event.

Tinubu said the housing project forms part of efforts to strengthen democratic institutions under his administration.

He added that protecting judges is central to protecting the justice system itself.

He also linked the project to wider reforms in the Federal Capital Territory and praised the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, for ongoing infrastructure delivery.

Wike said more housing units for judges across different courts are under construction, with further projects scheduled for completion in 2027.

Court officials welcomed the development, noting that improved welfare and housing for judges would support better justice delivery and help address long standing concerns within the judiciary.
