Nasarawa : Gov. Sule swears in first female chief judge, Bashir-Aliyu

Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has sworn in the state’s first female Chief Judge, Justice Aisha Bashir-Aliyu.

Justice Bashir-Aliyu was sworn in after her confirmation by the Nigeria Judicial Council and screening by the State House of Assembly.

She had worked as an acting Chief Judge for three months.

Speaking at the event, Governor Sule admonished the new Chief Judge to see her appointment as a litmus test, urging her to bring her wealth of experience to bear in the discharge of her onerous task.

The governor said, “As a Chief Judge you must realise that this is a call to serve the people and in carrying out your duties, I urge you to let the fear of God and public interest take precedence over personal preferences and inclinations”.

After administering the oath of office on the new Chief Judge, Governor Sule reechoed his administration’s resolve to provide the needed impetus to strengthen relationships among organs of government.

The governor assured that he will continue to support the judiciary towards the quick dispensation of justice, disclosing that the government has approved the increase in subvention of the judiciary to allow for the implementation of the harmonization law, as well as enhance allowances of magistrates and judges of Area Courts.

He, thereafter appealed to members of the Judicial Staff Union currently on strike, to return to work in the interest of the people.
