Hon. Justice Babatunde Adejumo OFR (Rtd) today, Friday 1st August 2025, officially resumed as the Administrator of the National Judicial Institute, Abuja.
Justice Adejumo’s resumption was in tune with his appointment by the Chief Justice of Nigeria and the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Institute, Hon. Justice Kudirat Kere-Ekun.
The National Judicial Institute is the apex institution responsible for the continuing education, training and development of Judicial officers and their support staff across all levels of the judiciary.
The National Judicial Institute serves as a centre for excellence in judicial studies, with a mandate to promote efficiency, uniformity and improvement in the quality of judicial services nationwide. Justice Adejumo became the new NJI Administrator following Justice Salisu Abdullahi, whose tenure as Administrator ends on July 31, 2025, after four years of meritorious service.
While appreciating the outgoing administrator, Justice Garba, for his tireless commitment and contributions to the growth of the Institute, Justice Adejumo solicited the support of the entire Management and Staff on his passion to move the institution forward to the global standard.
Justice Adejumo, a respected jurist and a seasoned administrator, served as President of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria until his retirement in 2019.
