Justice Mariam Aloma, has been nominated to replace Justice Dahiru Musdapher as the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, come July 16 when Musdapher will retire.
However, her appointment is subject to ratification by the Presidency.
This came as Justice Musdapher, yesterday, debunked insinuations that he resigned his appointment, saying he only wrote to the National Judicial Council, NJC, to expedite process for the swearing-in of his successor on July 16.
Reports have revealed that Justice Musdpaher had on April forwarded her name to the Federal Judicial Service Commission, FJSC, and the NJC, for consideration, just as he equally tendered his notice of retirement to the two legal bodies.
Remarkably, Aloma had recently rejected an offer for international appointment, after she was nominated as the Chief Judge of The Gambia.
