President Bola Tinubu has sworn in Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun as the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).
The swearing-in took place during a ceremony at the Council Chambers of the Aso Rock Villa on Monday, September 30, following the Senate’s confirmation of her nomination last week.
Justice Kekere-Ekun, is now the 23rd CJN and the second woman to ever hold this position in the nation’s history.
She had served in an acting capacity since August, following the retirement of her predecessor, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola.
