Upon his quick return from a work visit to France, President Bola Tinubu arrived at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja early on Friday, August 23, 2024. Without delay, the President is set to preside over an important event later that day at the State House Council Chambers.
The highlight of the day’s agenda is the swearing-in ceremony of the new Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Kudirat Olatokunbo Kekere-Ekun. This significant event marks the transfer of responsibilities from the retiring CJN, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, to his successor, Justice Kekere-Ekun.
President Tinubu’s brief yet crucial visit to France was important for official engagements before he promptly returned to Nigeria for this key ceremony. The National Judicial Council (NJC) had endorsed Justice Kekere-Ekun for the prestigious position during its 106th meeting on August 15, setting the stage for her confirmation as the new CJN.
Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, confirmed that the swearing-in ceremony would take place as planned. This leadership transition within the judiciary signifies a moment of continuity and renewal, ensuring the smooth operation of the justice system under Justice Kekere-Ekun’s guidance.
As President Bola Tinubu resumes his duties in Abuja and oversees this significant event, the nation looks forward to a smooth transition in the judiciary and the beginning of a new era under the leadership of Justice Kudirat Olatokunbo Kekere-Ekun as the Chief Justice of Nigeria.
