President Buhari: The Urgent Need To Appoint More Justices To The Supreme Court, By Femi Falana - Premium Times Opinion

REQUEST TO RATIFY THE NAMES OF THE COURT OF APPEAL JUSTICES RECOMMENDED BY THE NATIONAL JUDICIAL COUNCIL FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE SUPREME COURT BENCHSometime in October, 2019, the National Judicial Council did recommend four justices of the Court of Appeal, namely Justice Adamu Jauro; Justice Emmanuel A. Agim; Justice C. Oseji; and Justice Helen M.

However, it may interest Your Excellency to know that the number of justices on the Supreme Court bench has been depleted to 12, contrary to Section 230 of the 1999 Constitution , which stipulates that the Supreme Court of Nigeria “shall consist of such number of Justices not exceeding 21 as may be prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly.”

…the workload and the number of civil and criminal appeals pending at the Supreme Court would be significantly reduced if the four justices are appointed without any further delay.

This is pivotal for Democracy and transparency.
