by our reporter, EgbemaVoice, Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, has again called for the amendment of the 1999 Constitution to allow for certain cases to terminate at the appellate court. Justice Ariwoola made the call yesterday at the commencement of the 2022/2023 legal year of the Supreme Court and inauguration of 62 barristers and solicitors elevated to the rank of Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs). The CJN said due to the backlog of appeals and heavy workload, it has become pertinent for certain appeals to terminate at the Court of Appeal so as to decongest the Apex court. “We have said it repeatedly that ordinarily, most appeals should be allowed to end at the Court of Appeal; but such constitutional provision is yet to be enacted, so we have no blame in it, rather, we are daily overburdened by that long-awaited constitutional amendment as we work round the clock to attend to the plethora of appeals,” Ariwoola stated.

By Henry Falaiye Unemployment and inequality will rise because multiple economic and political crises are threatening labour market recovery worldwide, according to the latest edition of the International Labour Organization Monitor on the World of Work. According to the new ILO report, the outlook for global labour markets had worsened in recent months and, on current trends, job vacancies would decline and global employment growth would deteriorate significantly in the final quarter of 2022.
