The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, has said that corruption remains a sore point in the country’s contemporary democratic experience.

Specifically, the Chairman of the National Judicial Council (NJC) noted that corruption constitutes a dent on the image of the nation locally, and internationally.

Justice Ariwoola made the assertion, Thursday, at a review conference on the fight against corruption under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, organised by the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC).

The head of the judicial arm of government, who was represented at the event by the Chief Judge (CJ) of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Justice Hussein Baba-Yusuf, said: “From all indications, Nigeria and several countries in the sub-Saharan Africa, still navigate within the borders of transactional nations of the world.”
