Justice Shamsuddeen Abdurrahman Ƴammama, and Hon. Justice Abubakar Muhammad Dikkoon their well-deserved elevation to the Bench.
The ceremony, presided over by His Excellency, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, Governor of Katsina State, marks yet another proud moment in the advancement of judicial excellence and the consolidation of public trust in our justice system.
The distinguished profiles of these newly appointed jurists reflect not only years of diligence, scholarship, and service but also the enduring value of merit-based recognition.
Their appointment is a testament to the integrity of the selection process and the Governor’s commitment to strengthening the judiciary as the last hope of the common man.
Your Lordships, as you assume this sacred responsibility, may you be guided by truth, anchored in fairness, and fortified with courage.
The robe you wear today is a symbol of the people’s faith in justice, and your every decision must echo that trust.
I am confident that your wisdom, experience, and devotion to duty will further deepen the culture of judicial integrity in Katsina State and beyond.
