Following
the nationwide clampdown on the nation’s alleged corrupt judges, President
Muhammadu Buhari has sought the confirmation of the Nigerian Senate to appoint
two new Supreme court justices.
Senate
President, Bukola Saraki, read the request letter during Tuesday’s session. In
the letter sent by the president, Buhari nominated Paul Jauro from Taraba
State, North East and Sidi Bage from Nasarawa State, North Central and said it
is in line Section 231(2) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
Justice
Bage was born on June 22, 1956, became Federal High Court Judge in 1992 before
his appointment as Justice of the Court of Appeal in 2000. Born in 1954, Jauro
became a judge of the High Court in 1998 and was appointed Justice of the Court
Appeal in 2008. The two Judges had been recommended for appointment as Justices
of the Supreme Court by the National Judicial Council.
