Abstract

ABSTRACT The power to appoint judges and the formal procedure for judicial appointments in Nigeria have been examined by writers, particularly in the context of separation of powers. Shortcomings in the conduct of some judicial officers and the poor performance of some courts continue to generate questions about the suitability of the current appointments process in the quest for a sound judiciary founded on integrity and competence. The article argues that what is missing is due regard for ethics in the appointments process. This point, often overlooked or down played by writers, should be considered by the key players in the appointments process. The article examines the ethical dimensions of the judicial appointments process within the dynamics of the composition and operation of the special judicial bodies and other groups from which these bodies receive nominations for judicial appointments.

尼日利亚司法任命中的道德考虑：特别司法机构的作用*

尼日利亚的法官任命权和司法任命的正式程序一直受到作家的审视，特别是在三权分立的背景下。一些司法官员行为上的缺点和一些法院的不良表现继续使人怀疑目前的任命程序是否适合建立一个以廉正和能力为基础的健全司法制度。这篇文章认为，在任命过程中缺少的是对道德的应有考虑。这一点经常被作家们忽视或低估，但在任命过程中，关键人物应该考虑到这一点。本文在特别司法机构的组成和运作动态以及这些机构接受司法任命提名的其他团体的范围内审查司法任命过程的道德方面。
