The statement made available to Journalists in Abuja indicated that the Chief Judge of the Court, Justice John Tsoho has asked serving Judges of the Court, the Attorney General of the Federation, and the President of the Nigerian Bar Association to nominate suitably qualified persons from the five States for appointment to the Court’s bench.

According to the statement, the nomination must be in compliance with the National Judicial Council Guidelines and Procedural Rules for Appointment of Judicial Officers of Superior Courts.

The statement directed that all recommendations are to reach the Chambers of the Chief Judge on or before 28th February 2023.
