Judiciary is a sitting duck

President Muhammadu Buhari has described the judiciary as a sitting duck.
He stated this while answering questions on allegations that the judiciary was corrupt during the Presidential Media Chat on Wednesday in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
According to him, “I think I will discuss that with the CJN. It takes two to tango. When the Tribunals(election petition tribunal) were to be established they (judges) were told to shun corruption.
“The Judiciary is a sitting duck, they work with what the police and lawyers take to them. There must be participation from other institutions for the judiciary to be corrupt. It takes two to tango. Somebody must be offering and somebody must be taking. You have to prove that there is corruption within the judiciary.”
Buhari also said the question of agencies like NIMASA, NNPC earning money and giving government the change has to stop.
On education, he said standard of our tertiary education is poor. There is a number of things that need to be done in terms of building new classrooms, laboratories. New classrooms have to be built, the teachers have to be comfortable,” adding that facilities in the institutions of higher learning would get a facelift from the budgetary allocation to education in 2016.
The president also said the Ministry of Education, Central Bank of Nigeria will have to sit down to sort out issues of difficulties by Nigerian students using ATM cards outside the country.
