Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has inaugurated eight newly appointed judges for the Judiciary.<\/p>\n
Governor Fintiri supervised the swearing-in of the new judicial officers on Thursday at the Government House, Yola, pledging his administration\u2019s resolve to strengthen the Judiciary.<\/p>\n
The new judges are Momsisuri Bemari Odo and Evaristus Paul for Customary Court as well as Magaji Chiroma and Ibrahim Barkindo for Sharia Court.<\/p>\n
The rest are Ishaku Yakubu Haliru, Felix Daniel Nzarga, Abbas Adamu Hobon and Maxwell Tartius for the state High Court.<\/p>\n
Addressing the new judges who were accompanied by their family members to the swearing-in ceremony, Fintiri said his commitment to the well-being of the Judiciary is premised on his avowed vision to make the tenets of democracy the bedrock of justice and equity for the benefit of the common man.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is why this oath-taking should not be seen as a mere ceremony, or just a matter of formal procedure but a re-affirmation of each one of your lordships\u2019 commitment to serving God by serving humanity in the Temple of Justice,\u201d the governor said.<\/p>\n
He told them, \u201cIt is my fervent hope to see that by accepting to serve, you will work tirelessly to see that our courtrooms become temples of justice not that of despair, hopelessness and helplessness.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the cumulative effect of the oath they had subscribed to precludes partiality or favouritism and professes neutrally in striking a balance on the scale of justice.<\/p>\n
\u201cThus, having accepted this call of duty, it is expected that transparency, discipline, and efficiency should be the watchwords,\u201d Fintiri said.<\/p>\n
Justice Ishaku Haliru who spoke on behalf of the newly appointed judges commended Governor Ahmadu Fintiri for supporting the third arm of government and gave assurance of their uncompromising duty for the good of the Adamawa people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
