Abba Yusuf, governor of Kano, has sworn-in Dije Audu Aboki
as the first female chief judge of the state.
Aboki was sworn in on Monday at the government house.
The governor emphasised the importance of cooperation
between the judiciary and other arms of government, adding that the
relationship between the three arms “is not competitive, but complementary”.
“Justice Aboki has paid her dues in the temple of justice
and through experience, talent, and patriotism, she is by the grace of God
elevated as the chief judge of the state,” he said.
“While I congratulate
you on this well-deserved appointment, may I also remind my Lord that this task
is a daunting one which calls for total dedication and commitment for the
peace, progress and stability of Kano state and Nigeria at large.
“Having spent your public life within this sector, no one
can lecture you on what the citizens expect from you as the head of this very
important arm of government.”
Speaking on the challenges of justice dispensation, Yusuf
said there is a need to address violent crimes promptly, adding that “when such
cases are dealt with expeditiously and those found guilty are punished, it will
deter others hoping to engage in criminal acts”.
In her response, the chief judge expressed gratitude for the
opportunity to serve the state and pledged to uphold integrity, honesty, and
justice in her role.
“We will restore the lost glory of the judiciary in our
state,” she said.
