President Bola Tinubu has issued a fresh directive to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike in a move to address the issue of judges’ accommodation.
The minister has been ordered to immediately construct 40 judges’ quarters at Katampe District of the capital city.
The directive was announced by Wike after the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa on Monday.
“Mr. President wonders how judges and justices will be living in rented houses and hotel apartments. That is not safe for our judiciary; that is not convenient for them to do their work,” Wike explained.
He added, “What it means is that out of these 40, FCT High Court, which is like the FCT Court, will have 20, the Federal High Court will have 10 and the Court of Appeal will have 10. And these will be completed in 15 months.”
Wike said that all the access, as well as arterial roads within the quarters, will also be constructed.
