President Muhammadu Buhari has followed the suggestions by nominating the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Justice Tanko Mohammed as substantive CJN.

It will be recalled that Naija News yesterday reported that the National Judicial Council (NJC) urged the President to appoint Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad as the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).

The Council also recommended names of judges to President Buhari to appoint as Chief Judges and Grand Kadis for eight states – Lagos, Anambra, Ebonyi, Niger, Taraba, Kano, and Jigawa states.
