Buhari Accepts Onnoghen’s Voluntary Retirement
TRACKING>>President Muhammadu Buhari has accepted the voluntary retirement from service of Justice Walter Onnoghen as Chief Justice of Nigeria, effective from May 28, 2019.
A statement by Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), Mallam Garba Shehu, said the President thanked Justice Onnoghen for his service to the Federal Republic of Nigeria and wished him the best of retirement life.
Justice Onnoghen was suspended by President Buhari in January following an order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal over his failure to declare his assets.
Meanwhile, the President has written the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Tanko Muhammad, on the appointment of additional five Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
‘‘This is in line with the Government’s Agenda of repositioning the Judiciary in general and Supreme Court in particular for greater efficiency, with a view to reducing the backlogs of appeals pending at the Supreme Court.
‘‘Please accept, your Lordship, the assurances of my highest regards.’’
