The rest are Hadiza Rabiu Shagari from Sokoto State, who was elevated to the High Court Bench on 12th February, 2015; and Paul Ahmed Bassi from Borno State, appointed to the High Court on 14th July, 2017.

The traditional valedictory court session in her honour which ought to have taken place on September 3 was delayed due to the annual vacation of the court which ended on Friday, 15th September, 2023.

Justice Amina Augie was sworn in as Justice of the Supreme Court on 7th November, 2016. She graduated with a Second Class Upper Division in Law from University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) in 1977 and was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1978.
