Sani, CJN: Healthy Judicial Personnel Vital to Justice Delivery

In Kaduna, Governor Uba Sani emphasized the crucial role of judicial officers' and staff's well-being in the efficient delivery of justice. Speaking at the 32nd Annual Judiciary Sports Competition organized by the National Sports Association of Judiciary (NASAJ), Sani highlighted sports as a means for judiciary personnel to maintain fitness, develop professional relationships, and foster teamwork.

The governor stated that the strength of courts hinges not only on laws, procedures, precedents, and facilities but also on the competence, integrity, and well-being of those serving in the courts.

Governor Sani underscored the importance of values cultivated through sports, such as fairness, respect for the rule of law, discipline, teamwork, and respect for others, which are equally vital in the courtroom. He praised Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere Ekun, for her dedication to the welfare of judicial personnel.

The event, which included the CJN’s opening remarks, aimed to promote physical fitness, relieve stress, and enhance the well-being of judiciary personnel. The CJN highlighted the relevance of sports in cultivating teamwork, discipline, perseverance, and adherence to rules—values that transcend the sports field and are equally applicable in the professional sphere.

Both the governor and the CJN urged participants to compete with determination, respect the rules, and support one another, emphasizing the importance of commitment, fairness, and mutual respect in both sports and judicial service.
