The National Judicial Council (NJC) has approved the appointment of 35 judges in various courts across Nigeria and recommended the elevation of Hon. Justice Joseph Oyewole to the Court of Appeal. The decision was made during the NJC's 110th meeting chaired by Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun.
