The appointment of Dije Aboki, the first female chief judge of Kano state, has been confirmed by the state house of assembly.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, said Aboki’s appointment was approved following a letter sent to the house of assembly by governor Abba Yusuf Kabir.
The appointment letter was read by the speaker of the house, Ismail Falgore during the plenary on Thursday.
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.
The speaker, while speaking after confirming the nominees, urged them to remain dedicated to their duties and also complement the efforts of the government in developing the state.
