Ariwoola has been acting as the CJN since June, following the resignation of the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad.
Muhammad’s resignation followed the allegations against him by 14 Supreme Court justices, who accused him of abandoning his responsibilities as the leader of the court.
The judges also accused the former CJN of going on foreign trips with his family while denying them the right to go on international training.
