Federal High Court Begins Move To New Lagos Complex

The Federal High Court has started moving its Lagos Judicial Division to a newly completed complex on Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi.

The relocation began on July 31, 2026, and is being carried out in phases from the court’s current premises at No. 24, Oyinkan Abayomi Drive, Ikoyi, to the new complex at No. 1B, Bourdillon Road.

A notice by the Chief Registrar, Yahaya Shafa, said the first phase covers Vacation Courts 7 and 12 and Courts 2, 3, 4 and 5. Offices of the Chief Registrar, Deputy Chief Registrars and the Electronic Litigation Registrar of Process are also included in the first movement.

Court users, lawyers, litigants, the Nigerian Bar Association, the Lagos State Government and the public were asked to take note of the changes and adjust to the phased movement.

The move comes more than a decade after work began on the Bourdillon Road complex. The court said the phased approach was meant to limit disruption to proceedings and administrative work.
