Written by City Radio on November 28, 2023
The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, on Monday, pledged that the Supreme Court will soon have the full complement of 21 justices.
He made the pledge in Abuja in a session to mark the Supreme Court’s 2023/2024 legal year and the swearing-in of 58 new Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs).
Mid-November, a list of 22 Justices of the Court of Appeal nominated by the Federal Judicial Service Commission (FJSC) for elevation to the Supreme Court was sent to the National Judicial Council (NJC).
At the moment, the apex court has 10 Justices following the gale of retirements that hit the Supreme Court but the CJN assured the litigant public on Monday that the apex court would soon have the full complement of 21 justices.
