Justice Kekere-Ekun took her Oaths at about 11:38am and took her rightful sitting position in the Council Chambers on the left hand side of the President at exactly 11:45am.

Justice Kekere-Ekun is assuming her new role as CJN following the retirement of her Predecessor, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, and her nomination and presentation to President Tinubu by the National Judicial Council (NJC) on August 15.

Kudirat Kekere-Ekun is now the second female jurist to assume the highest judicial office coming after Justice Aloma Mariam Mukhtar, who was the Chief Justice of Nigeria between July 2012 and November, 2014.
