The Senate on Wednesday, 25th of September, 2024, commenced screening of the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, for confirmation as substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).
This screening comes after President Bola Tinubu sent a letter to the lawmakers which was presented during Tuesday’s plenary session by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
Kekere-Ekun has been serving as the Acting CJN since the retirement of Justice Ariwoola last month.
