Dije Aboki becomes Kano’s first female chief judge

 The Kano house of assembly has confirmed the appointment of
Dije Aboki as the first female chief judge of the state.

 

NAN reports that Aboki’s appointment was approved following
a letter sent to the house of assembly by Abba Yusuf, governor of the state.

 

The appointment letter was read during the plenary on
Thursday by Ismail Falgore, speaker of the house.

 

In March, Aboki was appointed acting chief judge by
Abdullahi Ganduje, the immediate past governor of the state.

 

The appointment comes after Falgore headed a screening
exercise of three commissioner nominees — Ibrahim Fagge, Ibrahim Namadi, and
Amina Abdullahi-Sani.

 

Speaking after confirming the nominees, the speaker of the
house urged them to remain dedicated to their duties and also complement the
efforts of the government in developing the state.

 

In April 2021, TheCable reported that Aisha Bashir-Aliyu was
appointed as the first female chief judge of Nasarawa state.

 

Halima Mohammed was elected the substantive female chief
judge of Gombe in February 2023.
