Other leading stakeholders in the justice sector will present speeches bordering on the state of the justice sector of the country.
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.
Though the court had started sitting since Monday, September 23, 2024, the new legal year ceremony is now being formally held in accordance with its tradition.
