The wife of Adamawa State
Governor, Justice Binta Nyako, has launched a five point war against
social injustice, which according to her is worse than HIV/AIDS.
Justice Binta Nyako, who launched the programme at the Women
Development Centre, Yola recently, named the social injustice as
girl child education, street hawking, rape, domestic violence and
fight against human trafficking.
According to her, the fight became necessary because many families
in various homes suffer in silence as a result of these social
injustice and they have no means of seeking for justice.
Having set up a legal framework to handle the programme, she
appealed to lawyers in the state to see the fight as their own by
waiving legal fees for those who seek legal aid.
In order to make the programme functional, Justice Nyako has opened
up a contact office at the Women Development Centre to counsel and
take details of the affected people.
Governor Murtala Nyako, who was represented at the occasion by his
Deputy, Barrister Bala James Nggilari, commended Justice Binta Nyako
for initiating a fight to protect the down trodden against social
injustice.
The governor, who expressed government’s support to the programme,
appealed to lawyers in the state to support the programme to
succeed.
He used the occasion to donate an 18 seater bus to the Nigeria Bar
Association (NBA) in the state.
