President Bola Tinubu on Monday swore in Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun as the substantive 23rd Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) at the Council Chambers, Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The swearing-in ceremony took place following her confirmation by the Senate last Wednesday.
The ceremony was witnessed by four of Kekere-Ekun’s predecessors, including Justice Alooma Muktar, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, Justice Walter Onnoghen, and Justice Olukayode Ariwoola.
Kekere-Ekun’s family members and other justices of the Supreme Court were also in attendance.
This development comes after the Senate confirmed Kekere-Ekun as the new CJN last Wednesday, and President Tinubu appointed her as the acting CJN following Justice Olukayode Ariwoola’s retirement.
