A Professor of Law and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Adeniyi  Olatunbosun, has called on the Federal Government to look at the academic community to appoint more justices to have a full complement of 21 Justices at the Supreme Court.Â
The Supreme Court has 10 Justices which is short of 21 expected to be at the apex court.Â
Prof. Olatunbosun, who is the Vice Chancellor of KolaDaisi University, Ibadan, said: ‘’Appointing Justices from the academia is not new; we have had it in the past. Justice Teslim Elias was appointed from the University of Lagos. The same thing with Justice Adolphus Karibi-Whyte.
‘’If our priority is to get the best for the judiciary, we should consider that as a complement to the judicial career officers. It will strengthen our judiciary and to meet the needs of the 21st century. All avenues of strengthening our judiciary for the people to have confidence in the system must be explored’’.
