The Senate on Tuesday confirmed the appointment of Justice Joseph Olubunmi Kayode Oyewole as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
The confirmation followed the consideration and adoption of a report by the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, chaired by Senator Adeniyi Adegbonmire (APC, Ondo Central).
Presenting the report on the floor of the Senate, Senator Adegbonmire urged his colleagues to approve the committee’s findings on the nomination of Justice Oyewole, who until his elevation served as a Justice of the Court of Appeal.
He moved the motion that “the Senate does receive and consider the report of the Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters on the confirmation of the nomination of Hon. Justice Joseph Olubunmi Kayode Oyewole as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.”
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had, last Tuesday, forwarded a letter to the Senate requesting the confirmation of Justice Oyewole’s nomination in accordance with Section 231(2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).
