Binta Nyako

Binta Nyako (born May 14, 1959) is a judge of the Federal High Court of Nigeria from Katsina State. She is the current President of the International Association of Women Judges and has previously served as the President of the Nigeria's National Association of Women Judges. She served as the chief judge of Bauchi State from 2014 to 2017, becoming the first woman to hold this position in the state and the first woman to lead a high court bench in Nigeria. Quotes During my years of practice, I realised that law is an area where a lot of women are not represented - especially in the Northern part of the country. Every good criminal trial begins with a good investigation. The real question is whether those powers extend to the wholesale displacement of existing leadership structures. I hereby recuse myself and remit the case file back to the chief judge For avoidance of doubt, as from 24th September 2024, the defendant no longer has any such case to answer before his lordship External Links Category:Women from Nigeria
