Nigerian Woman Sworn in as Judge in New York

Abayomi Whint, a Nigerian-born legal professional, has been sworn in as a judge for the Kings County New York Civil Court.

The ceremony took place at Brooklyn Law School, where she took the oath of office in the presence of family and friends.

Whint was among eight candidates elected as judges in Brooklyn during the November 2024 elections, having been nominated by Brooklyn district leaders.

With over two decades of experience in the public sector, Whint has built a career as a litigator, certified mediator, and arbitrator specializing in conflict resolution.

Beyond her legal expertise, she has contributed to organizational leadership, promoting inclusivity, team building, and restorative justice practices. As a Restorative Circle Keeper, she has been instrumental in fostering fair dispute resolution.

In recognition of her achievement, the Nigerian Consul General, Ambassador Abubakar Jidda, and his wife hosted a banquet at the Nigerian Embassy in New York in her honour.
