Supreme Court delivered 272 judgements in new legal year: CJN Ariwoola
Chief Justice Olukayode Ariwoola says the Supreme Court delivered 272 judgements in the 2022/2023 legal year.
Mr Ariwoola disclosed this in a statement felicitating with Nigerian Christian and Muslim faithful over this year’s Easter celebration and the ongoing Ramadan fast, respectively.
The CJN noted that the judgements were from normal civil, criminal and election-related appeals.
He counselled both Christians and Muslims to use the two occasions to pray fervently for peace and tranquillity to continue to prevail in the country.
“I am using this opportunity to thank my brother justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and our supporting staff for their unalloyed cooperation since the beginning of the current legal year of 2022/2023, which started in mid-September 2022.
“I want to specifically appreciate and acknowledge my brother justices who have delivered 272 judgments in the normal civil, criminal and election-related appeals under immense pressure.
“We appreciate, adore and give glory to Almighty God, who has continued to keep us all in good health.
“I wish the Christian faithful a joyous Easter and the Muslim Ummah a rewarding Ramadan and happy Eid- el- Fitr,” the CJN said.
The Supreme Court is on Easter and Eid-el- Fitr vacation and will resume later this month.
