President Bola Tinubu has sworn in Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun as the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).
This was held during a ceremony at the Council Chambers of the Aso Rock Villa on Monday following the Senate’s confirmation of her nomination last week.
Justice Kekere-Ekun, now the 23rd CJN and is the second woman to 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.
