The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) shared this news through a flash update on its official X account, complete with a video and images on Monday. Presidential candidate Bola Tinubu took the opportunity to commend the service of SAN Dabiri-Erewa, who celebrated his 63rd birthday. A recent court ruling halted the enforcement of former Speaker Gadzama's suspension from the Lagos State Public Defender Council.
