Tinubu swears in Kekere-Ekun as substantive CJN

Justice Kudirat Kekere-ekun has taken an oath of office as the 23rd substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).

President Bola Tinubu administered the oath on her at a ceremony in the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Monday.

It followed the Senate’s confirmation of Justice Kekere-ekun on Wednesday last week.

The ceremony was witnessed by three of Kekere-ekun’s predecessors, including Justice Alooma Muktar, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, Justice Walter Onnoghen, and Justice Olukayode Ariwoola.
