Justice Mabel Segun-Bello, a judge on the Federal High Court, has disclosed that obtaining the status of a federal judge in Nigeria requires the support of either the political party or the presidency.<\/p>\n
At the 2024 Clarity Conference in Abuja on Saturday, with the subject “The Constellation: Gathering of Stars, By Stars, and For Stars,” Justice Segun-Bello gave a speech and shared reflections from her difficult ascent to the top.<\/p>\n
As the event’s keynote speaker, she described how difficult it was for her to get from a lowly position to the prestigious post of federal judge, stressing the need of perseverance in achieving success.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the conference attendees, she said, “You might have come from a background of extreme poverty. It’s a strong condition, but you have to have the willpower to overcome it.<\/p>\n
You will either believe me to be lying or break down in tears if I tell you where I’m from. And keep in mind that I am a federal judge as well as a state judge. “You need the support of a political party or the backing of the presidency to become a federal judge,” she went on. I didn’t have either. This proves that anything is possible when principles are applied globally.<\/p>\n
“We organized the Clarity Conference to guide young people from the ideation phase to implementation,” conference convener Atuzie Tuzzi stated, emphasizing the goal of the gathering.<\/p>\n
“Due to their early environment and the exposure they had during their school years, many struggle with feelings of inadequacy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
