The Kano State House of Assembly has confirmed the appointment of Dije Aboki as the first female Chief Judge of the state.
According to Channels, following the presentation of a letter from Governor Abba Yusuf to the Assembly on Thursday, Aboki’s nomination was officially confirmed.
Speaker of the House Ismail Falgore read the appointment letter during plenary.
Aboki’s path to becoming Chief Judge began in March when Abdullahi Ganduje, the state’s previous governor, named her as Acting Chief Judge.
The House Speaker applauded Aboki’s appointment and asked her to carry on providing the judiciary with her selfless service.
He said, “We congratulate Dije Aboki on this historic appointment. We believe that her wealth of experience and professionalism will contribute to the development and growth of our state’s legal system.
“We urge her to remain dedicated to her duties and work collaboratively with the government to enhance the progress of Kano State.”
