Recall that on the 14th of January 2023, pursuant to a request for nominations received from the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) published a Notice calling for expressions of interest from suitably qualified legal practitioners from Bayelsa, Ebonyi, Gombe, Kebbi, Ogun and Oyo States, for appointment as Judges of the Federal High Court.
The NBA has received expressions of interest from 60 members, and we hereby publish the list of these candidates. Members of the Bar and the public are invited to submit petitions/objections and/or comment generally on the suitability for appointment of any of the shortlisted candidates. The comments/petitions/objections should be forwarded to the President through [email protected] or +234 803 345 2825. All communications in this regard must be sent in by close of work on Friday, 10th day of February 2023.
This exercise is aimed at fostering the resolve and commitment of the NBA to strengthen our Judiciary by enthroning a painstaking and transparent process which would ensure that only suitably qualified candidates – of appropriate competence, character, and reputation – are appointed to the Bench.
Kindly find attached the list of candidates.
Thank you.
Yakubu Chonoko Maikyau, OON, SAN
