The relocation, which began on July 31, 2026, is being carried out in phases following the completion of the new court complex.
The development was announced in a public notice issued by the Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court, Yahaya Yakubu Shafa, FCIArb., who stated that the movement was approved after the completion of the new facility.
According to the notice, the phased relocation is designed to ensure a smooth transition and minimise disruption to court proceedings, administrative operations and other judicial activities.
The first phase of the movement affects Vacation Courts 7 and 12, as well as Courts 2, 3, 4 and 5. Also included in the initial relocation are the offices of the Chief Registrar, the Deputy Chief Registrars and the Electronic Litigation Registrar of Process.
The Chief Registrar said the remaining courts and offices would be moved subsequently as the relocation exercise progresses.
The notice was addressed to the Nigerian Bar Association, litigants, stakeholders, the Lagos State Government and members of the general public, urging them to take note of the development and make the necessary adjustments.
The relocation marks a major development for the Federal High Court in Lagos, as judicial and administrative activities gradually shift to the new Bourdillon Road complex.
The modern facility is expected to enhance judicial administration, improve service delivery and provide a more conducive environment for judges, lawyers, litigants, court staff and other court users.
Lawyers, litigants and members of the public with matters before the affected courts have been advised to verify the venues of their proceedings and official engagements as the phased relocation continues.
The Federal High Court said further announcements would be made regarding the movement of the remaining courts and offices to the new complex.
