Senate confirms Joseph Oyewole as Supreme Court justice
The Senate on Tuesday confirmed Justice Joseph Oyewole as a justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
Mr Oyewole’s confirmation followed the presentation of the report by Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, chaired by Adegbonmire Ayodele (APC, Ondo Central).
President Bola Tinubu in January requested the Senate to confirm Mr Oyewole as a Supreme Court justice.
The president’s request, according to the letter, is in pursuant to section 231 (2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).
Mr Ayodele, after the presentation, moved that the Senate receive and consider the report of the committee on the confirmation of the nomination of Mr Oyewole as a justice of the nation’s apex court.
In a voice vote, the Senate confirmed the nomination of Mr Oyewole as justice of the Supreme Court.
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, congratulated the nominee on the new elevation and commended the committee for a job well done.
