The Judges’ Performance Evaluation Committee of the National Judicial Council (NJC) under the Chairmanship of HRH, Hon. Justice Bage Muhammad, has again commended Hon. Justice Nelson Ogbuanya of the National Industrial Court for Excellent Performance for the 1st and 2nd Quarters 2024 Assessment of Return of Cases by Judges of Superior Courts of Record in Nigeria.
One of the core objectives of the Performance Evaluation Committee is to provide adequate mechanisms to enhance the performance of Judicial Officers through continuous monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning to improve effective and efficient productivity in our Courts. In two separate letters of commendation dated 7th July 2025 addressed to Hon. Justice N.C.S Ogbuanya, through the Office of the President of the Industrial Court, and signed by Secretary to the NJC Committee on Performance Evaluation, Abdullahi Tafarki, Esq., on behalf of the Chairman of the Committee, it was noted with admiration that Justice Ogbuanya performed excellently well by delivering 25 and 27 Judgments during the 1st and 2nd Quarters 2024, respectively. According to the double commendation letters, the Committee urged His Lordship to keep up the stride.
It would be recalled that the Committee had earlier in November 2023 commended Justice Ogbuanya for Excellent Performance by delivering 28 Judgments in the 2nd Quarter of the 2022 year of Assessment of Return of Cases by Judges of Superior Courts of Record in Nigeria.
In a publication by the National Industrial Court, Justice Ogbuanya was referred to as “one of our shining stars”. The NIC celebrates Justice Ogbuanya for achieving this milestone of consistent excellent performance, which is not only a reflection of hard work but also in recognition of Justice Ogbuanya’s exceptional judicial sacrifice to justice development.
