Performing the swearing in on Tuesday, in Kaduna, Mr El-Rufai, said the state had been seeking for the appointment of the high court judges
“Though, only four were appointed, the state requires about 20 judges to compliment the current ones, who are overworked.
“To this end, the State needs more judges as we have the capacity to make their work easier with the provision of housing and vehicles, among other necessary things to make their stay memorable,” the governor said. “In my opinion, the NJC should only select judges for the appellate and Federal courts and leave the selection of judges for State high courts to an equivalent Council at the State level, either the State Judicial Service Commission which now appoints Magistrate or the State Judicial Council which select judges.
