Chief Justice of Nigeria Kudirat Kekere-Ekun swears in 68 legal practitioners as new Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) at the 2026/2027 Legal Year ceremony in Nigeria. Multiple outlets report the swearing-in takes place on Monday as part of the official start of the legal year.
Outlets also link the elevation of the 68 practitioners to the approval process of the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee (LPPC). Daily Post Nigeria adds that the LPPC’s approval comes from its 174th plenary meeting in Abuja, while other reports focus on the fact of the swearing-in and provide references to the full list of names. One outlet notes the ceremony is covered through NTA’s official social media account, including video reporting. Across the coverage, the common emphasis is on the number of new SANs, the role of the CJN, and the broader ceremony marking the 2026/2027 legal year.
