President Bola Tinubu is scheduled to return to Nigeria today, August 22, following a brief visit to France. His prompt return is aimed at overseeing the inauguration of Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun as the new Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) this Friday.
Sources within the Presidency reveal that President Tinubu regards the swearing-in of Justice Kekere-Ekun not only as a historic moment but also as a critical constitutional obligation. This underscores the significance he places on the event.

The National Judicial Council recently put forward Justice Kekere-Ekun as the successor to Justice Olukayode Ariwoola. Justice Ariwoola is anticipated to officially step down today, clearing the path for his successor.
Justice Kekere-Ekun, who has been a Justice of the Supreme Court since 2013, began her judicial career in the Lagos State Judiciary as a Senior Magistrate II. Her rise through the ranks saw her serve as a State High Court Judge and later as the Chairman of the Robbery and Firearms Tribunal in Ikeja from 1996 to 1999. Her judicial journey continued with an appointment to the Nigerian Courts of Appeal in 2004.
President Tinubu’s recent trip to Paris was made aboard the new Airbus A330, a modern replacement for the 19-year-old Boeing B737-700 (BBJ) acquired during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s tenure.
