CJN Bans Lawyers, Court Officials to Stop Using ‘Barrister’ as Official Title The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, has directed lawyers, court officials and other legal personnel to discontinue the use of “Barrister” as a prefix to their names in all official engagements at the Supreme Court. The directive was contained in a memorandum dated July 13, 2026, and signed by the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court, Kabir Akanbi. The circular, which was addressed to litigation staff, legal practitioners, court registrars and lawyers, stated that the directive took immediate effect and was aimed at upholding professional standards within the apex court. According to the memorandum, the use of the title “Barrister” before names was considered inappropriate and inconsistent with the standards of professionalism expected within the Supreme Court. “I am directed by the Honourable the Chief Justice of Nigeria to notify all Litigation Staff, Legal Practitioners, Court Registr...

KWANKWASO, 18 OTHERS SUSPENDED FOR SIX MONTHS BY THE NNPP NATIONAL WORKING COMMITTEE. (PHOTO).



The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has suspended its presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso for alleged anti-party activities.


Kwankwaso was suspended alongside 18 others for six months by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.

The suspensions were put to a voice vote by members of the party at its special general assembly, held at the Rockview Hotels in Apapa, Lagos.


Addressing newsmen at the end of the meeting in Lagos on Tuesday, August 29, Secretary of the BoT, Babayo Muhammed Abdulahi, accused Kwankwaso of hobnobbing with President Bola Tinubu, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Mr. Peter Obi, without the board’s authorisation.


 


Abdullahi announced that Kwankwaso had been stripped of the NNPP national leader status by the board for allegedly violating the party’s constitution.


 


Abdullahi said;


 


“The purported suspension of the founder is a flagrant gross violation of the NNPP constitution such that it is tantamount to recklessness and irresponsibility on the part of the incompetent NWC.


“The BoT decided that material evidence in the public sector affirmed that Kwankwaso was involved in anti-party activities in various meetings, suggest political discussions with the President, Atiku, and Obi without authorisation from the board.


”This has earned him six months suspension pending the outcome of investigation by the Disciplinary Committee. The BOT insisted that the avoidable violation of MoU between NNPP on the one part and Kwankwaso, TNM and NAGAFF on the other has no other choice than to withdraw from the partnership.


“It is therefore to state clearly that the MOU has been rendered void.”
