The Federal High Court has asked its judges across the federation to proceed on a short break to enable them to participate in the forthcoming general election.
A memo signed by the court’s Chief Judge, Justice John Tsoho, disclosed that the judges would embark on vacation from Wednesday, February 22, and resume on Tuesday, February 28.
It, however, instructed the heads of its Divisions in Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt to ensure that a judge is designated to cater for the legal needs of the North, South-West, South South/South-East Geo-political zones.

“Your Lordships are to sit up to Wednesday, 22nd February, 2023 before proceeding on the break and shall resume work on Tuesday. 28rd February. 2023.
