Eighteen newly appointed Justices of the Court of Appeal, will be induct into office by administration of an oath on Thursday, April 29, 2021, despite the ongoing strike of the Judiciary Worker’s.
The strike was embarked upon by members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) on April 6 to press home their demand for financial autonomy of the judiciary.
Amidst the strike that has entered into three weeks, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Tanko Muhammad, will perform the swearing in oath for the Justices.
President Muhammadu Buhari had approved the appointment of the judges following their recommendation by the National Judicial Council, NJC.
