She is the first female chief judge of Kano State. Her swearing-in ceremony took place at the Africa House within the Government House in Kano on Monday.

Governor Yusuf urged the judiciary to rally behind his administration’s efforts to demolish illegal structures and recover public assets allegedly acquired through unlawful means by the previous administration.

He stated the importance of cooperation between the three branches of government, adding that the relationship between the judiciary, legislature, and executive is not competitive but complementary.

In response, Chief Judge Justice Aboki expressed deep appreciation for the opportunity to serve in her new capacity and pledged her commitment to upholding the principles of integrity, honesty, and justice in her role.

She stated her determination to restore the lost glory of the judiciary within the state and called for support and collaboration from the executive, legislative, and judicial arms of government, as well as the professional bodies.
