No issue is as afflicted with such gaps in knowledge and inconsistencies of practice and yet so dispositive of outcomes in justice administration as judicial appointments in Nigeria. Yet, it is the one area about which little is public and debate is discouraged.to the appointment of 11 new Justices of the Supreme Court, all of whom used to be Justices of the Court of Appeal.
One of the nominees from the North-Central is Eleojo Enenche from Kogi State. He was only appointed a judge of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in November 2021, from his then position as personal assistant to the Chief Judge of the FCT High Court. Enenche spent nine months attached to Olukayode Adeniyi, a senior judge of the same High Court.
On this list of nominees to the Court of Appeal, Oyo State, which already has two Justices of Appeal, will receive another two, the only state to be so favoured. This will bring to four the number of Justices from the state from which the outgoing CJN hails. By contrast, Ogun State, which is also in the South-West, has only one Justice of Appeal - Adebukola Banjoko. In this round of appointments, they get none.
