The Kaduna Branch of Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has noted that Governor Uba Sani has improved the Administration of Justice by strengthening the judiciary.
In a statement issued by its Chairman, Baba Lawal Aliyu, the Association appreciated the ‘’massive renovation and rehabilitation of the High Court complex.’’
According to the statement, ‘’these interventions will undoubtedly enhance the working environment, mobility and overall performance of judicial officers.’’
Lawal Aliyu also lauded Governor Uba Sani’s kind gesture of providing 40 official vehicles to Judges of the High Court, Shari’ah Court of Appeal and Customary Court of Appeal.
‘’The Branch also welcomes the restoration of the payment of robe allowance to Magistrates, including the payment in 2025 of the outstanding 2024 robe allowance.
‘’These initiatives demonstrate the Government’s appreciation of the judiciary as a critical institution for the sustenance of the rule of law and effective justice delivery,’’ the statement added.
The Kaduna Branch of the NBA however pleaded with the Governor to also provide official vehicles to the lower courts and improve their facilities and working conditions.
‘’Magistrates and other judicial officers at the lower courts are at the frontline of justice delivery and require adequate logistical and infrastructural support to perform their duties effectively,’’ the NBA argued.
The statement pointed out that the ‘’continued investment across all levels of the judiciary will enhance access to justice, reduce delays and strengthen public confidence in the justice system.’’
