The Federal High Court of Nigeria has approved the establishment of a vacation court at its Enugu Division to address urgent and sensitive legal matters within the South East geopolitical zone during the court’s upcoming long vacation period.

This initiative follows an appeal made by the chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, Oji River branch, Sir Chukwudi Olemeforo, as conveyed in his letter dated June 24, 2025.

The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Hon. Justice John Terhamba Tsoho, approved after considering its merit and, in particular, the need for continuous access to justice in the area.

The Vacation Court sittings are scheduled to commence on Monday, July 28, 2025, and will run until Tuesday, September 16, 2025.

The South East zone vacation court will be presided over by Hon. Justice M. T. Segun-Bello.

This special court sitting will entertain only urgent or sensitive matters arising from the South East states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo.

A statement by the Director of Information of the court, Mrs Catherine Oby Christopher, said that the Federal High Court remains committed to ensuring timely justice delivery and upholding the rule of law, even during vacation periods.
