Bashir-Aliyu had been working in an acting capacity for over three months following the retirement of Suleiman Umaru Dikko, her predecessor.
She was sworn in after her confirmation by the Nigeria Judicial Council (NJC) and screening by the state house of assembly.
She will be the fifth person to occupy the position since the state was created in 1996.

Speaking during the ceremony, Sule asked Bashir-Aliyu to take the appointment as a litmus test while expressing optimism that she will not disappoint “the womenfolk”.
The governor said Bashir-Aliyu was appointed based on her track record of professionalism and experience.
