The National Judicial Council (NJC) has received a list of 22 justices of the Court of Appeal nominated by the Federal Judicial Service Commission (FJSC) for elevation to the Supreme Court.

The names of the nominees, who hail from various regions in the country, were revealed in an FJSC document sighted in Abuja on Thursday.

The North-Central region has six nominees, while the South-West and South-South regions have two nominees each.

The South-East region also has six nominees, and the North-East has two nominees.

The development is coming after the retirement of Justice Amina Augie, which left the Supreme Court with only 11 serving justices.
