Senate confirms Justice Kekere-Ekun as CJN

 

The Senate has confirmed Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun as the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).

Her confirmation comes after hours of screening by Nigerian senators on Wednesday.

With the confirmation, Kekere-Ekun becomes the 23rd Chief Justice of Nigeria.

During her screening, Kekere-Ekun had vowed to sanitize Nigeria’s judiciary.

In August 2024, President Bola Tinubu swore in Kekere-Ekun as the second female CJN in an acting capacity.
