further steps towards amending the 1999 constitution.
In a ruling this morning, a seven-man panel of justices of the apex
court, led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud
Mohammed, ordered the National Assembly to maintain status quo on the
matter until June 18.
The apex court further directed the issuance of hearing notice on the
NASS for it to appear on that date to respond to the suit that was
lodged against the proposed alterations to the constitution, by
President Goodluck Jonathan.
