Tinubu signs bill raising High Court Judges retirement age to 70 by nairalandkachy1(op): 5:33pm On Jun 08, 2023
President Bola Tinubu has signed into law the bill on uniform retirement age for judicial officers.

Tinubu signed the bill into law on Thursday.

Before now, only Appeal Court and Supreme Court Judges retire at 70 while State & Federal High Court Judges retire at 65.

It's commendable. Those judges have huge wealth of wisdom. Even though many civil workers in Nigeria are in the habit of age falsification.

One thing I cherish about Tinubu presidency is that he’s in control of his government not cabals.

He’s here to repair Nigeria, his family already blessed as confirmed by his wife.

Desperado wants to impress as a way of incentivizing the Tribunal Judges to rule in his favor.

What happens to the next generation is not his business. Such a fellow might even suggest recruiting 40million of young lawyers into the army in hope what they'll eat is not a problem.

Most laws are made in the interest of the elite in this country

what did your senators vote for?

you kept mute when all 3 senators and house of rep member from your state voted yes for the constitution amendment only for your to start gnasing of teeth on Tinubu door

so you expect Tinubu to veto a bill that wins 90 to 3 on the legislative floor

I doubt your mumu can ever finish
