The governor issued this directive during the swearing-in ceremony conducted on Monday at the Presidential Lodge in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital.

Idris said, “I want to charge you to be alive to your responsibilities, I urge you to be above board in the discharge of your official duties. It is your duty to ensure quick dispensation of justice to all people in the state.”

He assured them that “government is ready to give you the necessary support at all times to facilitate your duties because the judiciary is an important arm of government that this administration must not joke with.”

Responding to the governor’s gesture, Abubakar expressed gratitude for the honour and committed to fulfilling his duties in accordance with the Oath of Office outlined in the nation’s constitution.

In a related development, the governor proceeded to inaugurate various Boards of Agencies, Departments, and Parastatals.
