NJC, CCT, CFRN


Please Sir if we may permit a reflection on the Third and Fifth Schedules and section 318 of the CFRN 1999 to see why the Constitution  intentionally excluded the Code of Conduct Chair and members from NJC’s  judicial control and discipline? Reason being the 1999 Constitution says the CCT is not a "judicial office" a fortiori members and Chair CCT are not judicial officers hence devoid of criminal jurisdiction.

Why is the  President of the FRN the one mandated to wield the disciplinary whip against CCT Chair &members? And not NJC? Because NJC deals with "judicial officers" under para 17 Third Schedule CFRN.

Best regards

CA
