Announcing the names on July 6, Mustapha had said the successful candidates emerged after three days of final interview in which 72 shortlisted candidates participated.

The statement, on Tuesday, announcing the date for the inauguration of the new SANs read, “The Hon. Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon.
