Chief Judge Slams Sleeping Lawmakers

The Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Ishaq Bello has reacted to the distasteful sight of lawmakers sleeping during plenary.

Bello weighed in on the controversial issue which has almost become a trend in Nigeria.

Affirming that the younger generation is needed to effect the much-needed change across the country in his speech at a two-day capacity building workshop for young lawyers in Abuja on Monday, August 24, he said that he felt ashamed each time he sees lawmakers sleeping during plenary.

Bello said:

“When I see aged people sleeping at the senate or house of reps, contributing nothing when they have young people at their constituencies to promote, I feel ashamed.”
