Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Urmaru Fintiri has charged the Judicialry not to regard oath-taking for taking sake.
He made this known recently at at Government House Banquette while swearing in of High Court, Customary Court of Appeal Judges and Khadis,
He said that. “it is aimed at strengthening
the institutions through upholding the creed of Fairness. equity, precedence and Justice in all dealings with all Arms of Government as a general principle of Good Governance.
“This is why Oath taking, should not be seen as a mere ceremony, or just a matter of formal procedure but a reaffirmation of each one of your Lordships’ commitment to serve God by serving humanity in the Temple of Justice”,
Warned that. “I am confident that with your long sojourn on the lower Bench or in the Bar, whichever maybe the case, you all have what it takes to drive a new phase in our judicial system”.
He noted that, “my administration is conscious of the fact that good governance cannot be attained without allowing all the Organs of Government to function independently.
“I want you to note that today, no institution requires the deployment of these principles as much as the Judiciary Arm of Government hence the commitment to make the tenets of the Rule of Law, the bedrock of Justice and Equity so that the common man can have a genuine hope of better things to come.
“While congratulating you on your deserving elevation as you join in building the Adamawa State of our dream, it is expected that transparency, discipline, efficiency should be your watchwords”
In his respond on behalf of the eight newly inaugurated judges, Justice Ishaku Yakubu Haliru expressed commitment to promoting the course of justice in the state.
Justice Ishaku Yakubu Haliru explained that Judiciary being the last hope of the common man is always expected to operate in line with justice system hence their resolve to tour this part.
He however, commended the Governor for supporting the third arm of government assured their uncompromising duty and function for the good of the masses and that a responsibility and a call for them to brace up the more, they also count it as an honour which they shall work assiduously to justify.
