Appointment of Chief Judge and Judges of the Federal High Court

Section 250(3) · 1999 Constitution (2004 edition)

What Constitution says

(3) A person shall not be qualified to hold the office of Chief Judge of the Federal High Court unless he is qualified to practise as a legal practitioner in Nigeria and has been so qualified for a period of not less than ten years.

This is the 1999 Constitution as published in 2004. Later amendments aren't included yet, so a section may have changed since.
