THE National Council of Muslim Youth Organisations (NACOMYO) has congratulated Justice Olukayode Ariwoola on attaining the age of 70 and bowing out as the Chief Justice of Nigeria.
The apex Muslim youth organisation, in a statement in Abuja signed by the National Secretary General, Alhaji Mas’ud Akintola, noted that with his short-but-very-eventful tenure, Justice Ariwoola had put his footprints in the sands of time.
According to NACOMYO, the former CJN is reputed for reducing the level of discontent in the judiciary and stabilising the system.
The organisation noted the fiscal autonomy granted local government councils in the country and other “landmark judgments” that were delivered on his watch, which were well received by a broad spectrum of Nigerians.
It commended the Ariwoola-led judiciary for discharging its duties with merit and for managing the pressure mounted by politicians and their followers during the 2023 general election.
The organisation congratulated the former CJN on retiring from service without blemish and wished him well for the future.
