Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, has vowed to spearhead a corruption-free judiciary.
Justice Kekere-Ekun emphasized the importance of integrity and strictness in her judicial philosophy.
During her Senate screening, Justice Kekere-Ekun assured lawmakers of her commitment to expediting the resolution of pending petitions and safeguarding the judiciary’s independence.
Kekere-Ekun also underscored the need for robust national institutions and a culturally ingrained sense of civic responsibility, particularly during electoral processes.
