Taraba State governor, Darius Dickson Ishaku, on Friday swore in Philibus Andetur as the new Chief Judge of the state.
He told the new Chief Judge that the people of Taraba were looking up to him to always serve judgment to whoever deserved it without delay.
Ishaku called on the people of the state to rally round the chief judge for him to succeed in his new assignment.
Speaking to journalists after his swearing-in, Andetur pledged to ensure better administration of justice in the State and ensure quick dispensation of justice.
“I am not against judges of the lower courts, but we must check abuse of court processes and address issues where a single case will have three or more conflicting court judgments from different courts of the same status.
“In land dispute cases, for instance, we sometimes have three different court judgments in favour three different people,” he noted.
“This lack of uniformity in decisions of courts of the same status will be looked into,” he said, adding: “Judges of lower courts must allow cases to go on appeal other than going through other judges on the same issue at the same level.
