Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, the 22nd Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), has officially retired from service after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 70.
Born on August 22, 1954, Justice Ariwoola’s retirement brings to a close a distinguished judicial career spanning several decades.
He was appointed to the Supreme Court on November 22, 2011, and later elevated to the position of Chief Justice 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 ceremonies to honor his retirement take place at the Supreme Court, there is growing anticipation that Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun may be appointed as his successor, potentially becoming the next Chief Justice of Nigeria.
