Kano State’s first-ever female Chief Justice (CJ), Justice Dije Abdu Aboki has taken the oath at the Africa House of Kano State Government House.
IdanNews gathered that Justice Aboki was appointed as acting CJ on March 9 by former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje following the retirement of erstwhile Justice Nura Sair.
However, the Kano House of Assembly confirmed Justice Aboki’s appointment as the state’s chief judge on July 6 following a letter sent to the house by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
The new CJ then promised to enhance justice delivery and ensure justice becomes accessible to all, irrespective of their social and other classes.
Governor Yusuf while reacting appealed to the chief judge to see the executive and legislature as partners, not competitors with the judiciary.
Yusuf appealed to Aboki to lead a judiciary that will support the government’s efforts in restoring the Kano Urban Development Masterplan, which, according to him, was misused by the last government.
