He was confirmed on Wednesday, July 17, after being screened by the Senate.
Mohammed arrived the National Assembly at 10:10 am, but the screening began at 11:13 am.
He was accompanied to the screening by the president of the National Industrial Court, Justice Babatunde Adejumo.
Recall that the President had sent a letter requesting the screening and confirmation of the acting CJN on July 11.
Mohammed replaced former CJN Walter Onnogen following his nomination by the National Judicial Council (NJC).
Onnoghen was convicted by the Code of Conduct Tribunal on April 18 for false assets declaration and subsequently banned from holding public office for 10 years.
