Hierarchy of courts in Nigeria

The hierarchy of courts in Nigeria determines the flow of justice from the lowest to the highest authority, ensuring that cases are heard at the appropriate level and that appeals are properly managed. Mastering this structure is essential for exam questions that ask you to identify the correct court for a particular case or to explain the appellate path.
