The appointment was announced in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga.
According to the statement, the appointment takes effect from January 10 and is for a four-year tenure.
Dr Odusote, who currently serves as the Deputy Director-General and Head of the Nigerian Law School, Lagos Campus, will make history as the first woman to head the institution since its establishment in 1962.
