 The Nigerian Senate has confirmed the appointment of Justice Olukayo de Aruola as the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria CJN. His confirmation follows a screening hearing at today's plenary more in this report. Aruola was orchard into the Senate chambers by the Senior Special Assistant to the President and National Assembly Martyrs Senator Babajidi Omowarare. When it was time to speak, the new Chief Justice of Nigeria who came in company of top judiciary officials in the country observed protocol and shared his profile. Lauren, the screening process, federal lawmakers questioned Aruola on various subjects. So I want the reassurance from you that you will insist on the right of judiciary that whatever is due to judiciary is given to you. I like for you to speak on your vision and your plan for repositioning of the Nigerian judiciary. We witness a necessary delay in the administration of justice in our country. The Supreme Court suffers that the most, maybe because we need more justice at our court. And whether my Lord will subscribe to the fact that more justice should be appointed in the Supreme Court, that is one. And my Lord, under your leadership, if confirmed today, how will you address the issue of this delay in the administration of justice in our country? If confirmed as the Chief Justice of Nigeria, my Lord, how will you ensure that the judiciary under your leadership is better equipped to perform this role? And what will be your strategy to ensure that the judiciary is better funded to enhance the capacity of our judicial officers and staff? Responding, the new CJN promised to project the Nigerian judiciary to greater height with the collaboration of the executive and legislative arms of government. We need to appoint more justices. But as we said, the rules will have to be amended. There are many cases that should not be allowed to come out. Many cases should be allowed to stop at the court of appeal. It is only by the constitutional amendment that that can happen. And the constitution can only be amended not by the courts, but by the distinguished House, Senate. National Assembly should please help us, the country, help the nation. Mending this one must end here. He also responded to questions on the administration of criminal justice and the poor funding of the judiciary. The only way we can move is for us to have fund. The judiciary of Nigeria must be properly funded. Judges should not be seen to go cap in hand. No. We should not beg for our entitlement. We should not. We have too much to do than to go about begging. The Senate, however, voted to confirm Arwola after the Senate screened him for nearly two hours. Will the Senate confirm the nomination of honorable justice for Arwola for appointment as Chief Justice of Nigeria? Thank you very much. The nomination of honorable justice for Arwola is hereby confirmed as the Chief Justice of Nigeria. Arwola has been acting as the CGN since the 27th of June this year following the recommendation of the National Judicial Council to make justice Arwola the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria.
