BREAKING: Senate confirms Kudirat Kekere-Ekun as Chief Justice of Nigeria

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

This comes after a thorough screening process, during which the esteemed jurist answered questions on her qualifications, judicial philosophy, and vision for the Nigerian judiciary.

Kekere-Ekun’s confirmation marks a significant moment in the history of Nigeria’s judiciary, as she becomes one of the few women to occupy the highest judicial position in the country. The appointment is expected to bring renewed focus to judicial reforms, transparency, and the independence of the judiciary under her leadership.

Justice Kekere-Ekun has had a distinguished career in the judiciary, serving as a Justice of the Supreme Court since 2013.

Her confirmation as CJN is seen as a pivotal step in addressing issues of judicial inefficiency and restoring public trust in the Nigerian legal system.
