Justice Kudirat Kekere-ekun has taken an oath of office as the 23rd substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).
President Bola Tinubu administered the oath on her at a ceremony in the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Monday.
It followed the Senate’s confirmation of Justice Kekere-ekun on Wednesday last week.
The ceremony was witnessed by three of Kekere-ekun’s predecessors, including Justice Alooma Muktar, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, Justice Walter Onnoghen, and Justice Olukayode Ariwoola.
Also in the Chambers were her family, as well as the other justices of the Supreme Court.
