Ruling

1. The matter is scheduled for mention for parties to show cause why the suit should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. Neither party nor their counsel have attended court. They have not even sent representation to explain their absence.

2. The Notice to Show Cause issued after the court noted that there had been no activity on the file since 18th December, 2020. And with the lack of response and absence of the parties herein despite having been served with the said Notice to Show Cause, it is clear indication that the parties have lost interest in having this suit prosecuted.

3. In the circumstances, it is only prudent that the court system be unclogged of backlog. Therefore, this suit is dismissed for want of prosecution pursuant to Order 17 Rule (2) of the Civil Procedure Rules.

It is so ordered.
