The Kano House of Assembly on Thursday, July 6, confirmed Justice Dije Aboki as the first female Chief Judge of the state.

The confirmation of Aboki as the first female Chief Judge followed the consideration of a letter forwarded to the Assembly by the State Governor Abba Yusuf and read by the Speaker, Ismail Falgore, during the plenary.

Recall that the immediate past Governor of Kano, Abdullahi Ganduje, had in March, appointed Aboki as acting Chief Judge of the state.

Additionally, the Assembly also confirmed three more commissioner-nominees sent by Governor Kabir-Yusuf.

The nominees screened were Ibrahim Namadi, Ibrahim Fagge and Amina Abdullahi-Sani.

The Speaker of the House, Ismail Falgore, while speaking after the confirmation, urged the cleared nominees to justify the appointment by being dedicated to their duties when assigned portfolios.

However, he also urged them to complement the efforts of the governor in the development of the state.

The nominees, after the confirmation, described the opportunity as a call to serve the State and promised to justify the confidence reposed in them.
