The meeting focused on advancing judicial education, with First Bank pledging support under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) framework. The collaboration aims to enhance continuing judicial training, promote ethical standards, and modernize capacity‑building for judicial officers across Nigeria.
Justice Adejumo highlighted the Institute’s interest in partnering with the Bank on projects such as the provision of educational and healthcare facilities, as well as installation of Automated Teller Machines within the NJI premises to improve access and convenience for judicial officers.
