The Senate on Wednesday took a decisive step towards overhauling Nigeria’s overburdened judiciary, passing for second reading two landmark bills that would expand the bench of the Court of Appeal from 70 to 110 justices and raise the strength of the Federal High Court from 70 to 90 judges.
The decision was part of a broader legislative push to decongest the courts and accelerate justice delivery across the country.
