Federal High Court redeploys judges (FULL LIST)

23 November 2023 Add Comment

The management of the Federal High Court of Nigeria has redeployed some of its judges to new divisions across the country.

A statement by the court’s assistant director of information, Catherine Christopher, on Wednesday, said the postings became necessary following the appointment of 23 judges to the Federal High Court bench in October.

The statement quoted the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, John Tsoho, as directing the judges to report for work at their duty posts before 8 January 2024.

There are 94 judges on the court’s bench spread across 38 divisions in 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

A look at the new postings showed that some judges retained their old locations, while others were reshuffled across divisions in states like Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Benin, and Kano.

Despite the new additions, the court still falls short of six judges to reach its full complement of 100.
