During the swearing-in ceremony, Governor Idris emphasized the importance of a robust judiciary in maintaining law and order. "The appointment of these judges is a testament to our commitment to upholding justice and ensuring that our courts are well-equipped to handle the increasing number of cases," he stated.

In addition to the appointments, Governor Idris announced the approval of N300 million for the procurement of vehicles for the newly appointed judges.
