President Bola Tinubu is expected to return from France to the country, earlier than it was scheduled.

Reports said he decided to cut short his trip to conduct the swearing-in of Justice JuKudirat Kekere-Ekun as the new Chief Justice of Nigeria.

The exercise is expected to hold on Friday, August 23, 2024.

The swearing-in follows outgoing CJN Olukayode Ariwoola’s retirement on August 22, 2024, after attaining the statutory age of 70.
