The Senate has confirmed justice Olukayode Ariwoola as the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria.

Ariwoola was confirmed after about an hour of drilling and questioning by the senate.

The motion for the screening was moved by the Senate Leader, Senator Ibrahim Gobir, at the plenary this Wednesday.

Gobir moved that the Senate resolve into the Committee of the Whole to conduct the screening as well as suspend its relevant rules to admit Ariwoola and his entourage into the chambers.
