The stakeholders include high-profile individuals such as the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, the Chairman of the Body of Senior Advocates of Nigeria (BOSAN), and the President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), along with other notable figures.
Persecondnews recalls that the Supreme Court commenced its annual vacation on Monday, July 22, 2024.
