Some judges sell judgment to highest bidder, then retire to avoid NJC punishment-Jega
Former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, says some judges who sit on election tribunals sell judgments to the “highest bidders”, then retire to avoid punishment.
Jega who is also a former Vice Chancellor of Bayero University, Kano said this in a lecture he delivered at the Owolabi Afuye Memorial Lecture organised by the Nigerian Bar Association, Ibadan Branch as one of the events to mark its 2021 Law Week.
He said some lawyers undermine the country’s security when they use “technicalities” to win cases.
The professor said the NBA and the body of benchers need to address these issues to save the country from a crisis.
“Some senior lawyers have become stupendously wealthy defending corrupt public officials, or handling electoral litigation for governorship and presidential candidates,” the former INEC chairman said.

“Similarly, many judges have become notorious for corrupt enrichment for ‘cash and carry’ judgments, especially in election matters generally and in election tribunals, more specifically.
“Some election tribunal appointments were in the past widely said to have been made to senior judges about to retire, who allegedly ‘sold’ judgments, most likely to the highest bidders, enriched themselves and quickly retired to avoid being sanctioned by the National Judicial Council.
“When lawyers use technicalities to subvert justice and ‘win’ cases without regard to perpetration of injustices, they basically help to undermine, rather than enhance national development, peaceful coexistence and security.
“They discard ethical and professional conduct, and put parochial and/or self-serving objectives in the forefront of their practices.”

Jega said owing to the security challenges, many scholars are “beginning to perceive Nigeria now, perhaps exaggeratedly, as a failed state”.
“In some areas of the country, notably north-east and north-west geopolitical zones, famine is imminent, as insurgents and/or bandits have obstructed farming and agrarian food production and destabilized the rural economy, with outright killing of whoever ventures out to their farms, or imposition heavy taxation on those allowed to farm,” he said.
“Indeed, things have been so bad for so long that some scholars are beginning to perceive Nigeria now, perhaps exaggeratedly, as a ‘failed state’.”

Dispositivos de balanceo: importante para el funcionamiento uniforme y eficiente de las maquinarias.
En el ámbito de la innovación avanzada, donde la productividad y la seguridad del aparato son de máxima relevancia, los sistemas de ajuste desempeñan un papel crucial. Estos equipos específicos están diseñados para ajustar y fijar partes móviles, ya sea en equipamiento de fábrica, automóviles de movilidad o incluso en equipos caseros.
Para los técnicos en reparación de aparatos y los profesionales, trabajar con equipos de balanceo es fundamental para promover el desempeño fluido y fiable de cualquier mecanismo móvil. Gracias a estas herramientas avanzadas modernas, es posible reducir notablemente las movimientos, el sonido y la esfuerzo sobre los rodamientos, prolongando la vida útil de componentes valiosos.
Igualmente importante es el función que tienen los dispositivos de balanceo en la atención al usuario. El soporte experto y el mantenimiento constante usando estos equipos permiten brindar prestaciones de óptima excelencia, elevando la agrado de los compradores.
Para los responsables de proyectos, la financiamiento en estaciones de equilibrado y sensores puede ser fundamental para mejorar la productividad y eficiencia de sus aparatos. Esto es especialmente trascendental para los inversores que manejan medianas y pequeñas organizaciones, donde cada punto cuenta.
También, los sistemas de calibración tienen una vasta utilización en el sector de la prevención y el supervisión de calidad. Facilitan encontrar eventuales fallos, reduciendo arreglos costosas y perjuicios a los equipos. También, los resultados recopilados de estos equipos pueden aplicarse para optimizar procesos y mejorar la presencia en buscadores de investigación.
Las zonas de uso de los equipos de equilibrado cubren múltiples industrias, desde la producción de bicicletas hasta el monitoreo ecológico. No interesa si se refiere de extensas producciones industriales o limitados talleres hogareños, los aparatos de calibración son necesarios para proteger un desempeño eficiente y sin paradas.
