NJC releases list of nominees for Supreme Court appointments

Members of last year’s presidential election petition court have been recommended to President Muhammadu Buhari for appointment as justices of the Supreme Court.

They are justices Abdu Aboki and Mohammed Garba, who headed the five-man court.

The other two who made the list of four candidates recommended for appointment as justices of the apex court are Justices Tijjani Abubakar and Mohammed Saulawa.

A statement by the director of information of the national judicial council, Mr Soji Oye, says Justice Abubakar would represent the north-east zone on the Apex Court’s bench while Justices Garba, Aboki and Saulawa, are to represent north-west.
