Former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai

Governor Nasir El-Rufai has praised the Kaduna State Judiciary for being one of the best in the country.

El-Rufai added that his administration is proud of the achievements of the state judiciary as testified by the World Bank.

The governor poured encomiums on the judiciary at the administration of oath of office on the Acting Grand Khadi of Kaduna State, Hon. Muhammed Aminu Danjuma at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House on Tuesday.

“In the last Ease of Doing Business ranking by the World Bank in 2018, the Kaduna State judiciary was ranked Number 1 in resolving Commercial Disputes and Civil cases.

“This is because of the hard work of our judges at all levels, particularly our High Court and Appellate Court judges that are over worked,” he said.

El-Rufai expressed gratitude for the excellent work that the judiciary has been performing, promising that his administration will continue to do its best ‘’to continue to encourage you.‘’

He added that Kaduna State government ‘’will continue to do more within the limits of our financial constraints.’’

The governor also thanked the immediate past Grand Khadi, Hon. Abdurrahman Umar Abubakar, for his meritorious service to the state, especially his input on the proposed Judicial Reforms Bill.

According to El-Rufai, he found the ex-Grand Khadi’s comments very educating, adding that the Ministry of Justice will rework the Judicial Reforms Bill to address the concerns of all stakeholders.
