The CJN, who spoke on Thursday at the conference on “Proportional Force and Respect for Human Dignity: A Dialogue in Governance” organised by the National Human Rights Commission in collaboration with Citizen FM, maintained that the judiciary is steadfast in its constitutional mandate.

Justice Kekere-Ekun, who was represented by the Administrator of the National Judicial Institute (NJI), Justice Babatunde Adejumo, congratulated the National Human Rights Commission on its 30th anniversary and commended the organizers for holding the conference on International Human Rights Day.

“Let me make it abundantly clear that the judiciary remains steadfast in its constitutional mandate to uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of citizens,” she said.
