NBA Corruption Bill Passes Second Reading Successfully
On March 25, 2025, the Nigerian House of Representatives passed a bill for second reading that seeks to amend the Constitution to empower the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) to receive and address petitions against corrupt judicial officers.
The proposed legislation aims to enhance accountability within the judiciary by granting the NBA the authority to handle complaints regarding judicial misconduct. This initiative reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen the integrity of Nigeria’s judicial system.
The bill’s progression to the second reading marks a significant step in the legislative process. If it successfully passes subsequent readings and receives presidential assent, the NBA will be formally empowered to play a more active role in addressing corruption within the judiciary.
