Notable Academic, Nigerian Lawyer, and judge at the Commonwealth Arbitral Tribunal Sitting in London, which represents Nigeria and Africa, Prof. Epiphany Azinge has been appointed as the President of the Commonwealth Secretariat Arbitral Tribunal (CSAT).
A 23 August 2022 letter signed by the Rt. Hon Patricia Scotland QC revealed that Prof. Azinge was appointed “pursuant to your nomination to, and selection by, the Board of Governors of the Commonwealth Secretariat, and in accordance with the Statute of the Commonwealth Secretariat Arbitral Tribunal (CSAT).”
The highly cerebral Prof. Azinge would be assisted as President by the other members of CSAT and supported by the Executive Secretary to the Tribunal. The service as President of CSAT is one that is largely honorary and unremunerated.
The letter equally disclosed that Azinge would receive an additional gratuity of £600 per annum, met by the Commonwealth Secretariat.
