Bauchi gov swears in 21 new judges

The Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed, on Monday, swore in six new judges for the state high court and 15 others for the Shari’a Court, charging them to uphold justice and fairness in the discharge of their duties.

The governor called on them to align with his administration’s goal for good governance and due process.

Mohammed stressed “the importance of the judiciary in promoting justice and the rule of law,” saying, “New judges must dispense justice without fear or favour and be guided by the principles of fairness and equity.”

He said the appointment of the judges was “a testament to their hard work and dedication to the legal profession.”

The governor urged the new judges to “work towards the decongestion of the correctional facilities in the state which are currently overcrowded, posing a significant challenge to the administration of justice.”

“As judges, you should also prioritise cases involving inmates who have been awaiting trial for extended periods, and to ensure that justice is served without delay,” he said.

The Chief Judge of Bauchi State, Justice Rabi Umar, appreciated the governor for the confidence reposed in the new judges and assured him that they “would work tirelessly to uphold the principles of justice and fairness, to ensure that the judiciary in Bauchi State remains a beacon of hope for the people.”

“The judiciary is committed to the decongestion of the correctional facilities through speedy trial of cases to ensure that justice is served without delay,” the CJ said.
