- ItemAdjudication of Tenancy Matters: An Unending Debate of the Jurisdiction of the Federal High Court of Nigeria(Redeemer's University Law Journal, 202) Adeyeye, JoelThere seems to be no end to the controversy surrounding the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court under the provision of the S. 251 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and Decree 107 of 1993. The more the Courts interpret these provisions, the more cases come before the court. This work therefore takes a deep reflection of the purport of these provisions of Nigerian ground norm and interrogates the continuous misinterpretation and misapplication of the extant provision of our laws with regards to the case of Abdul Raheem v Oduleye decided in 2019. It is settled law that the jurisdiction of a court is determined by the statute that created the court, (in this case the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended) that is section 251 (1) (a) to (s), plaintiff's claim as endorsed in the writ of summons and the statement of claim. It is clearly not the rules of court that vest jurisdiction in the court; rather it is the statute creating the court. This work will therefore interrogate statutes, claims of parties and investigate why the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court is now extended to tenancy matter as decided in the above named case and will make recommendations thereafter

- ItemJudging the Judge: Lessons from Nigeria and Selected Jurisdictions(Essays in Honour of Hon. Justice Iche N. Ndu, Former Chief Judge, Rivers State, 2012) Akinola, Omoniyi BukolaOne of the unique provisions of the 1999 Constitution is the creation by statute of the National Judicial Council. This paper explores the importance of the National Judicial Council in a democratic dispensation, the powers of the Council and their limitations. In Canada, the Canadian Judicial Council appoints and sanctions Judges of Federal Superior Courts. In South Africa and Botswana, the Judicial Service Commission appoints, disciplines and sanctions Judges in partnership with the President and the Parliament. Over the years, the Federal Judicial Service Commission regulates appointment and discipline of judicial officers in Nigeria at the Federal level. However, the poser is, how far has the regulatory institution been able to judge the Judge across these identified jurisdictions? This paper reviews the role of the National Judicial Council vis-a-vis its powers and limits under the 1999 Constitution. It also compares the Nigerian standard with some selected jurisdictions and posits that although much could be achieved through the National Judicial Council in the bid to sanitise the Judiciary, much could also be learned from certain jurisdictions.
