The senate has confirmed the appointment of Olukayode Ariwoola as the substantive chief justice of Nigeria (CJN).
Ariwoola has been holding the office since Justice Ibrahim Muhammad resigned.
The screening lasted one hour as senators across political party lines, asked questions bordering on the plans of Ariwoola to turn the Judiciary arms of government around during his tenure.
Satisfied with the performance of the CJN during the questions and answers session, the senators unanimously approved his appointment after the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, put the approval to voice vote.
Ariwoola’s, confirmation comes almost three months after his appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari.
