NJC Recommends Twelve High Court Judges for Elevation to Court of Appeal
The National Judicial Council has proposed elevating twelve High Court judges to fill vacancies in the Court of Appeal. These openings arose from promotions to the Supreme Court, retirements and deaths. The nominees include Justice Yakubu Abdulhammed (Gombe), Justice Monisola Abodunde (Ekiti), Justice Raphael Ajuwa (Bayelsa), Justice Elias Abua (Cross River), Justice Mbalamen Ijohor (Benue), Justice Sabiu Shuaibu (Kebbi), Justice James Omotosho (Ogun), Justice Emeka Nwite (Ebonyi), Justice Dauda Buba (Taraba), Justice Sanusi Kado (Katsina), Justice Enikuomehin Ademola (Ondo) and Justice Julcit Dadom (Plateau). The Council also adopted a new policy to appoint retired public servants who have at least ten years remaining before the mandatory retirement age. The recommendations now await presidential approval and Senate confirmation.
