Ngillari swears-in Adamawa new acting CJ

Governor Bala Ngillari of Adamawa State on Friday swore-in Justice Ishaya Banu as the new Acting Chief Judge of the state.

Ngillari said the Judiciary arm of government remained the only system that had continued to maintain its integrity as it strives to strengthen democracy in the country.

“Judiciary, as you know, is the last hope of the masses as well as government.

“Therefore, the Judiciary must continue to ensure that it upholds the right position in the decision making in the process of growing democracy,” he said.

He explained that the appointment of the new acting chief judge was on merit following his track record of excellence in the discharge of his duties and career in the judiciary.

Ngillari added that the state’s quota at the federal judiciary level were still vacant and urged the state judiciary to work towards filling the vacant slots as a matter of urgency.

“We have eminent people that deserve to be there,” Ngillari said.

The governor assured the new CJ of maximum cooperation of government with the judiciary to allow the system function effectively.

In his acceptance speech, Banu thanked the Almighty and the Adamawa State Government for finding him worthy to serve his people.
