President Muhammadu Buhari  has approved the appointment of Justices Ejembi Eko and  Amina Augie to the Supreme Court bench.

Acting Director, Information, Mr. Soji Oye, disclosed this in a statement on Friday.

The appointment followed NJC’s earlier recommendation of the two candidates  to the President.

Ac‎cording to Oye, the two Justices who were formerly of the Court of Appeal will be sworn in on Monday by the outgoing Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, who retires on November 10.

The appointment will bring the number of the justices of the apex court to 15 by the time the CJN retires on Thursday.
