The Apex Court in Nigeria (Supreme Court) has so far delivered 272 judgments in the 2022/2023 Legal Year, Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola revealed.
The revelation was reportedly made in a statement yesterday to felicitate with Christians on the Easter celebration, and Muslim faithful for witnessing the ongoing Ramadan.
Ariwoola, who noted that the judgments were from the normal civil, criminal and election related appeals, admonished faithful of both religions to pray fervently for peace and tranquility to continue to prevail in the country.
The statement reads,
“It is with gratitude to Allah for His grace at this season when both Christians and Muslims all over the globe are fasting and calling on God for protection and blessings that I express my greetings to all.
“I thank my brother Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and our supporting staff for their unalloyed cooperation since the beginning of the 2022/2023 legal year which started mid-September 2022.
“I want to specifically appreciate my brother justices who have delivered 272 judgments in the normal civil, criminal and election related appeals under immense pressure. I wish the Christian faithful a joyous Easter, and the Muslim Ummah a rewarding Ramadan and happy Eid- el-Fitr.”
The Supreme Court is on Easter and Eid-el-Fitr vacation and would resume later this month.
