The letter came after some Nigerians criticised Mr Buhari and accused him of delaying the confirmation for ethnoreligious reasons.
Mrs Dongban-Mensem was retained as an acting head for another three months despite that the National Judicial Council had recommended she be confirmed as the substantive appeal court president.
The president said the delay was due to the unfinished background checks carried out by security agencies on the candidate, a reason that was faulted by lawyers.
