press release

The ongoing National Conference holding at the National Judicial Institute in Abuja continued it's sitting on Monday June 30, 2014 with the Conference Chairman, Idris Kutigi (Justice) informing delegates that the time of Plenary sitting has been adjusted to begin from 9am - 3.30pm as against the usual 10am to 6pm adopted from the inception of the Conference, noting that the change is due to the Ramadan fasting.

According to the report from the Conference Secretariat, the proceedings continued with a motion from Ish' aq Moddibo Kawo over a Daily Trust Newspaper Publication alleging that the Deputy Chairman of the Conference, Bolaji Akinyemi (Professor) has lobbied for a new Constitution for the Conference. It revealed that the Conference was divided as some delegates were of the view that the publication should be dismissed, saying it aims to divert the attention of the Conference from its goals. The former President of the Senate, Ken Nnamani was of a different opinion as he opted for Bolaji Akinyemi (Professor) to be allowed to clear his name by responding to the allegation.
