The FHC spokeswoman, Catherine Oby-Christopher, announced this in a statement on Tuesday.

The statement was titled ‘Notification of Federal High Court Annual Vacation for the Year 2024 and Vacation Roster For Judges’, said, “By virtue of the provisions of Order 46, Rule 4 (d) of the Federal High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules 2019, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Honourable Justice John Terhemba Tsoho, OFR, KSS, FCIArb.(UK) announces its 2024 Annual Vacation and Roster for Vacation Judges.
