Nigeria’s Senate advances two bills aimed at increasing the number of judges in the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal. According to reports, the bills are moved to the next stage after scaling the second reading in the Senate. One proposal seeks to raise the number of Court of Appeal judges from 70 to 110. Another seeks to increase Federal High Court judges from 70 to 90. The Senate frames the changes as part of efforts to reduce delays and decongest the judiciary, with the aim of improving the timely and effective administration of justice. While the coverage focuses on the Senate’s progress of the bills through its legislative process, both outlets describe the same core intent: expanding judicial capacity to handle cases more efficiently. The bills’ movement beyond second reading would be expected to follow further legislative steps, including committee consideration and subsequent votes, though those later stages are not covered in the excerpts provided.
