NJC Sends Kekere-Ekun's Name To President Today

 

 

The National Judicial Council (NJC) will send Kudirat Kekere-Ekun’s name to President Bola Tinubu, for his approval as the next Chief Justice of Nigeria, this Friday

 

This follows recommendations by the NJC during its 106th meeting, which was presided over by the outgoing Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola on Thursday.

 

Reports say If approved by the President, Justice Kekere-Ekun will become the second female CJN in Nigeria, the first being Justice Mariam Mukhtar, who held the position from July 2012 to November 2014.

 

It will be recalled Ariwoola will formally bow out of office as the CJN on Thursday, August 22, 2024.
