The House of Representatives on Tuesday asked the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court to suspend the recruitment of judges into the 12 vacant positions in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance by the lawmaker from Ebonyi State, Igariwey Enwo, at the plenary in Abuja.
In his presentation, Enwo said the proposed list was expected to be sent to the National Judicial Council (NJC) by February 19 for vetting, and subsequently to the Senate for confirmation.
