President Muhammadu Buhari has sent the nomination of Monica Dongban-Mensem, acting president of the court of appeal, to the senate for confirmation. This was announced in a statement by Garba Shehu, senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, on Monday.
Dongban-Mensem has been acting as head of the appellate court since the retirement of Zainab Bulkachuwa in March. Although the National Judicial Council (NJC) earlier recommended her as the substantive head of the court, Buhari did not send her name to the senate for confirmation.
