The President’s request was sent in a letter to the Senate
on Thursday.
A second letter was also sent by President Muhammdu Buhari,
seeking the approval for the appointment of 15 special advisers.

appointment of Hon. Dr. Justice Tanko Muhammad, as the substantive Chief
Justice of Nigeria.
The NJC also on Wednesday recommended eight other persons as
Heads of Court.
Following a meeting which was initially presided over by
Hon. Mr. Justice Umaru Abdullahi, CON, the NJC said it considered and approved
the recommendation of its Interview Committee that screened the two candidates presented
by the Federal Judicial Service Commission to it for appointment as Chief
Justice of Nigeria.
