Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, the 22nd Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), has officially retired from service after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 70.

Ariwoola’s journey to the pinnacle of Nigeria’s judiciary began in 2011 when he was appointed to the Supreme Court bench. He became the substantive CJN in 2022, following the resignation of his predecessor, Justice Tanko Muhammad.

Speculation is rife that Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun may be named as his successor, making her the second female CJN in Nigeria’s history.

As Nigeria’s judiciary enters a new chapter, Ariwoola’s legacy of excellence and dedication to upholding the rule of law will be remembered for years to come.
