According to Ireporter Online, the National Judicial Council (NJC) has submitted the names of 14 candidates to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointment as Judges of the Federal High Court. The recommendation followed the Council’s 110th meeting, which took place between January 13 and 14, 2026.

The decision was reached during a session chaired by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, where members considered the outcome of the judicial selection process. At the time of the meeting, the Council resolved to withhold forwarding the names to the President pending the receipt of mandatory security clearance reports on the shortlisted candidates.

Following the eventual submission of the security reports, which reportedly raised no adverse findings against any of the nominees, the NJC proceeded to formally transmit the list to President Tinubu on January 22, 2026, for final consideration and appointment.

The candidates recommended for appointment are Amida Hassan Suleiman, Barau Saidu Muhammad, Chinelo Conchita Igboko, Chioma Angela Onuegbu, Edingah Galumje, Vera Eneabo Ibrahim, Musa Usman Abubakar, Aisha Yunusa Salihu, Joy Bassey Ikpeme, Umaru Adamu Shehu, Ibrahim Buba Mohammed, Nendelmum Judith Eigege-Binjin, Kuyik Uduak Usoro, and Osinachi Donatus Nwoye.
