El-Rufai also disclosed plans by the government to construct housing estates for the judges.
“The next beneficiaries will be Khadis of Sharia Court of Appeal and judges of the Customary Court of Appeal. They will be delivered soon by God’s grace, not only the incoming judges but also the existing ones.
“The state government has plans to develop housing estate for senior judges, as currently, judges are accommodated in government buildings scattered across the state.
“We believe that if we develop housing estate where all the senior judges will be in comfortable accommodation, with club house and shopping facility, they will have a self-contained community and better security..
“We are working on that and very soon the developer will approach heads of courts to look at the designs that are suitable,’’ he said.
