The Kaduna chapter of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has commended Governor Uba Sani for what it described as significant efforts to strengthen the state’s judiciary and improve justice administration.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Baba Lawal Aliyu, the association praised the massive renovation and rehabilitation of the High Court complex, saying the intervention would improve the working environment, mobility and overall performance of judicial officers.

The NBA also applauded the governor for providing 40 official vehicles to judges of the High Court, Shari’ah Court of Appeal and Customary Court of Appeal.
It further welcomed the restoration of robe allowances for magistrates, including the payment in 2025 of outstanding allowances for 2024.

“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 said.
However, the NBA urged Governor Sani to extend similar support to lower courts by providing official vehicles and improving 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,” it said.
