The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Tanko Muhammed will on Thursday swear in 18 judges whose appointment to the Court of Appeal was approved last week by President Muhammadu Buhari.

It was gathered that the event scheduled for around 10 am at the Supreme Court complex in Abuja will hold whether or not the strike by court workers was called off.

The Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari had last week communicated Buhari’s approval via a letter to the CJN.
