After President Tinubu swearing in of Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun as the acting CJN on Friday, numerous senior lawyers have provided valuable insights to her on restoring the trust of both Nigerians and foreign investors in the nation's judiciary.

There needs to be a rethinking, repositioning, restoration, rebranding and rejiging of the judiciary – Olanipekun, SAN

The court presently works on the 1844 model of the English court. The challenge for the new CJN is to turn this around – Agbakoba, SAN

The incoming CJN should push for the creation of constitutional courts at three tiers – trial, appellate and final, for the determination of political and other allied matters – Daudu, SAN

She should ensure that bad eggs in the judiciary are not treated with levity or a mere backslap – Yadudu

She must be courageous to resist skeptics and defend against internal and external pressures – Idigbe, SAN

She should release state judicature from the shackles of central control – Shasore, SAN

The principle of judicial precedent must be respected. A situation where cases on the same set of facts result in different outcomes is a dangerous trend – Alegeh, SAN

One major sub point that Justice Kekere-Ekun must deal with has to do with conflicts in judicial decisions – Ozekhome, SAN

We can borrow a leaf from what obtains in places like England where the commercial courts are manned by seasoned commercial law practitioners – Akpata
