The President also told judicial officers to stay honest and independent, warning that any compromise in the justice system weakens the nation\u2019s moral strength. He added that the government is working to improve judges\u2019 welfare and strengthen the judiciary\u2019s independence.<\/p><p>The President also talked about the delays in corruption trials. He said many Nigerians are unhappy about slow judgments in big cases while smaller cybercrime cases move faster. He said the judiciary must adopt new technology to make justice quicker and more effective. \u201cYour vantage position on the Bench does not insulate you from the consequences of corruption,\u201d he warned. \u201cThere are no special roads, hospitals, or communities for judges.
