Buhari has confirmed Monica Dongban-Mensem as substantive President of the
Appeal Court in Nigeria.
Buhari made the move
after coming under intense criticisms from Nigerians including a retired
colonel, Abubakar Umar.
Garba Shehu, Senior
Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, announced the
nomination in a statement on Monday.
According to the
statement, Buhari had sent Dongban-Mensem’s name to the Senate for
confirmation.
He said her
nomination followed the recommendation of the National Judicial Commission in
line with the provisions of the constitution.
Buhari had last week
extended the protem appointment of Dongban-Mensem, who is a Christian, without
formalising her position as substantive head of the Appellate Court.
