The Chief Justice said Awogboro’s swearing followed the approval of her appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR. The CJN admonished the new Judge to stick to her Oath of Office and Oath of Allegiance as well as seek advice from her Brother Judges adding that if she followed these simple principles, she will do no wrong. “Approval for your appointment came in last Thursday from the President. I wanted to swear you in immediately because of the enormous workload we have in the Judiciary but i said let me give you time to arrive here, and now here we are today. The Judiciary is what it is, forever busy. The principle is that at whatever point we join, we have to improve on what we meet at the point of joining. We should not play to the gallery rather we should seek always to protect and defend the Constitution of Nigeria. The law is the law. If you deviate, people will say you have compromised or are inefficient. Do your best to uphold the dignity of the office you are being sworn into. The government has cases; so do corporate entities and individuals. You should provide a balance for all cases so that the cases of the ordinary people do not suffer”.
