Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, the 22nd Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), has officially retired from the judiciary upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of 70.
Born on August 22, 1954, Justice Ariwoola’s retirement brings to a close a distinguished career in the judiciary. He was appointed to the Supreme Court on November 22, 2011, and ascended to the role of CJN on June 27, 2022, following the resignation of his predecessor, Justice Tanko Muhammad. His appointment was subsequently confirmed by the Nigerian Senate on September 21, 2022.
As retirement ceremonies take place at the Supreme Court, speculation is rife that Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun may be appointed as his successor, potentially making her the next Chief Justice of Nigeria.
