EKO HOT BLOG reports that reports that she has been serving in this role on an acting basis since August.
During her screening today, Kekere-Ekun was joined by members of the judiciary from different courts and her relatives.
The screening process began just over 24 hours after President Bola Tinubu formally submitted a letter to the Senate, urging them to move forward with the confirmation of Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun as the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).
Tinubu’s request followed the recommendation by the National Judicial Council (NJC), which had endorsed Kekere-Ekun as the most suitable candidate for the position.
