Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola
Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, joined Christians in celebrating this year’s Easter. In a statement signed by the CJN, he urged both Christians and Muslims to use the occasions of Easter and Ramadan to pray for lasting peace in the country.
He wrote, “It is with gratitude to Almighty Allah, the most gracious, most merciful, and most benevolent, for His grace in this season when Christians and Muslims worldwide are fasting and calling on God for protection and blessings, that I express my greetings to all.”
Justice Ariwoola also took the opportunity to thank his fellow Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and their supporting staff for their unwavering cooperation since the beginning of the current legal year, 2022/2023, which started in mid‑September 2022. He specifically praised his colleagues for delivering 272 judgments in civil, criminal, and election‑related appeals despite immense pressure.
“We appreciate, adore, and give glory to Almighty God, who has continued to keep us all in good health,” he added. “I wish the Christian faithful a joyous Easter, the Muslim Ummah a rewarding Ramadan, and a happy Eid‑el‑Fitr.”
