President Tinubu arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja early Friday morning, following his departure to France earlier in the week.
His return is timed for a significant event at the State House, where he will preside over the swearing-in of Nigeria’s new Chief Justice (CJN).
This comes after Justice Olukayode Ariwoola retired on August 22, 2024.
The National Judicial Council (NJC) recommended Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun as the successor during its meeting on August 15.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, confirmed that the swearing-in ceremony will take place on August 23, 2024, at the Council Chambers.
