In an effort to improve the state’s judicial system, the Jigawa State Judicial Service Commission has sworn in 19 recently appointed Sharia Court judges.

Justice Umar M. Sadiq, the Chief Judge and Chairman of the Judicial Service Commission, stressed during his remarks at the event how important the new judges are to the interpretation of Islamic law and the settlement of conflicts.

He also exhorted them to preserve the integrity of the judiciary, support justice, and abstain from corruption.

He claims that in order to guarantee their profound comprehension of Islamic law and dedication to justice, the recently hired Alkalis underwent extensive training and a tough selection procedure.

“It is anticipated that their appointment will strengthen Jigawa State’s Sharia court system and increase access to justice for all communities.”
“It is your responsibility to make sure justice is carried out without fear or favor because the people have high expectations.” To keep the judiciary free of unethical activities, you must abstain from all sorts of bribery and corruption, Justice Sadiq said.

Khadi Sani Salihu, the Grand Khadi of Jigawa State, urged the new judges in his speech to uphold the values of Islamic law and to continue to be dedicated to justice and openness.

He reminded them that everyone was watching them and that the public’s confidence in the judiciary will be based on how they behaved.
Mohammad Abubakar, Ibrahim Adamu Ibrahim, Suleiman Abubakar Suleiman, Lawan Salisu, Shu’aibu Hussain, Rabi’u Jafar Adamu, Muhsin Haruna Hashim, Abdullahi Sabo, and Jafar Hassan Adam are the recently sworn-in Sharia Court judges.

The others are Abdullahi Idris, Rufa’i Sabo, Najib Garba, Shu’aibu Nasiru, Nura Mohammad Imam, Abubakar Dalhatu, Muddassir Usman Adam, Abdulkadir Umar Maigari, Umar Abubakar Yahaya, and Umar Muktar Shu’aibu.

President Donald Trump of the United States on Tuesday said he expects to slap auto tariffs in the neighborhood of 25% and equivalent taxes on semiconductors and pharmaceutical imports.

According to reports, this is the most recent in a string of actions that could disrupt global trade.

In an effort to restructure international trade, Trump stated on Friday that taxes on cars would be implemented as early as April 2, the day after cabinet members are scheduled to present him with studies detailing options for a variety of import duties.

The US president has long railed against what he calls the unfair treatment of US automotive exports in foreign markets. The European Union, for instance, collects a 10% duty on vehicle imports, four times the U.S. passenger car tariff rate of 2.5%. The US, though, collects a 25% tariff on pickup trucks from countries other than Mexico and Canada, a tax that makes the vehicles highly profitable for Detroit automakers. Meanwhile, European Union trade chief Maros Sefcovic will meet with US counterparts – Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Trump’s nominee to be US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett in Washington on Wednesday to discuss the various tariffs threatened by Trump.

When asked whether the EU could escape retaliatory tariffs he suggested last week, Trump reaffirmed his claim that the EU had already signaled it would cut its tariffs on US autos to the US rate, although EU parliamentarians have denied doing so.

He promised to put pressure on EU leaders to boost US auto and other imports.

Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani has injected new hopes into the lives of 42 persons released from detention on the order of President Bola Tinubu.

He pledged to enroll them in skill acquisition centre

The 42 minors were arrested during the protest against the government of President Tinubu.

But Governor Sani, who posted on his verified Facebook page, provided the assurance when he met with Honorable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction Prof. Nentawe G. Yilwatda at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House in Kaduna. He said, “The State Government is finalizing plans to enroll the minors in Skills Acquisition Centers. We intend to train the minors so that they can sustain themselves and contribute to the economic growth and development of our state.” The 42 minors were evaluated, documented, and forced to undergo psychosocial counseling, before they were reunited with their families.

Prior to being screened, Hon. Yakubu Kwanta, the immediate past Commissioner for Environment, must offer a heartfelt apology, according to the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, or NSHA.

During Monday’s plenary session, House member Hon. Adamu Omadefu said Kwanta had neglected to defend his ministry’s budget performance in front of the parliamentary committee during budget oversight duties.

Honorable Speaker and my esteemed colleagues, the nominee, Hon. Yakubu Kwanta, the former Environment Commissioner, did not come before our committee to defend his ministry’s budget during our oversight duties.

Before we consider him to appear in this sacred chamber for screening, Omadefu said, “He should offer a heartfelt apology for his failure to come before this House to explain why he failed to defend his ministry’s budget performance.”
