He stated, “I hereby forward the nomination of Honourable Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, CON, for confirmation as the Chief Justice of Nigeria. I trust that this request will receive the Senate’s prompt consideration and approval.”
The Senate President has referred the nomination to the Committee of the Whole for deliberation today. If confirmed, Justice Kekere-Ekun will become the 23rd substantive CJN and the second woman to hold this prestigious position in Nigeria’s judiciary.
