Unbottling The Judgment Enforcement Process In Nigeria?

In Nigeria, enforcing a judgment is a complex process that is bedevilled with challenges that can hinder a judgment creditor from enjoying the fruits of his or her judgment. At the core of public confidence in the judicial process is the need for assurance that successful litigants who have ventilated their grievances and secured victory in a court judgment would reap the fruit of their victory through a seamless judgment enforcement process. It is an assurance that drives local and foreign investment in line with global best practices. The current framework for judgment enforcement in Nigeria does not sufficiently meet the need and therefore requires significant legislative and institutional reform.
