The National Judicial Council has recommended Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun to be the next Chief Justice of Nigeria.
The recommendation was made in an impromptu closed-door meeting initially slated for Friday but brought forward to Thursday in Abuja.
The NJC also made recommendations for 27 others as judges of the state high court in the meeting, which is still ongoing.
The outgoing CJN, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, will bow out of the bench on August 22, having attained the mandatory retirement age of 70.
