CJN to swear in 14 Federal High Court judges (Full list)

Nigeria’s Chief Justice (CJN) is scheduled to swear in 14 new judges of the Federal High Court, expanding the bench at a time of heightened focus on senior judicial appointments. The Federal Judicial Service Commission (FJSC) has also approved Shafa as Acting Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court, while the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) is under scrutiny as the search for a 14th Supreme Court judge advances. These moves collectively signal an ongoing reshaping of Nigeria’s federal judiciary with implications for case backlogs, institutional capacity, and high‑stakes litigation management.
