A WOMAN OF MANY FIRST!

68yr old Justice Maryam Aloma Mukhtar was on monday, sworn in by president Goodluck Jonathan as the first female Chief Justice of Nigerai {CJN}, she was also conferred with the national honor of Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger {GCON}

Justice Aloma Mukhtar is a lady of many firsts, she was the first female lawyer to emerge from the defunct norther Nigeria, the first female High court Judge in the north, she then rose to become the first female Justice of the Court of Appeal and then Supreme court.

There is a saying "in politics, if you want something said, give it to a man but if you want something done, give it to a woman." Me lady, this is a laudable achievement and  an inspiration to women in Nigeria and Africa. I hope you crown your retirement by eradicating the stench of corruption in our judicial system, you can be the first to do that.

Goodluck to you and all the best.
