The National Judicial Council (NJC) has formally recommended Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun to President Bola Tinubu, for appointment as the next Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).

According to a statement from the Council, signed by its Director of Information, Soji Oye, Esq., the recommendation was imperative as the incumbent CJN, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, will formally bow out of office on August 22, 2024.

He said the NJC also recommended 27 candidates for appointment as Judges of State High Courts and a candidate for appointment as Kadi of the Sharia Court of the FCT, Abuja, to their various State Governors.
