Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has sworn-in Kudirat Kekere-Ekun as the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, pending the approval of the Senate.
Kekere-Ekun was sworn in at the Council Chamber of the State House, Abuja, yesterday, following the retirement of her predecessor, Olukayode Ariwoola.
Having been nominated for the apex judicial position last week, Kekere-Ekun is set to become the second ever female Chief Justice of Nigeria, providing the Senate grants formal approval of her appointment.
She will also be the 23rd CJN in Nigeria’s history once officially approved by the Green Chamber.
