The Governor of Kano, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje says the judiciary is saddled with many challenges that need to be addressed.

According to the Governor, one of the ways to overcome those challenges is through self-assessment and capacity building.

Ganduje disclosed this on Monday while declaring open the judicial retreat for judges, adis, Magistrates, Shari'ah court judges,management and other staff of Kano State judiciary held at Porto Golf Resort in Minjibir Local Government Area.

The Governor, who was represented by his deputy Dr.Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, strongly believed the judiciary as an independent institution saddled with the responsibility of protecting the rights of all citizens and enforcing the applicable law of the country, must therefore provide means of developing a plan of action to engage its judicial officers and courts staff in training and continuing education.

"The Kano State Judiciary Funds Management Law 2022 is a very important legislation in the administration of justice as it lays a foundation of achieving the financial autonomy and self accounting of the State judiciary", he said.
