The 62 years old adjudicator was a Magistrate of different grades up to Chief Magistrate between 1981 and 1990.

She served as Deputy Chief Registrar, Superior Courts and Protocol Affairs and was appointed Judge, High Court of Justice, Plateau State in 1993.  She was there up to 1996.

Eventually, she transferred her services to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) judiciary where served from 1997-2003. She was also an Advisory Committee Member for FCT Judiciary on the National Centre for State Courts International Programs Division from 2001-2002.

Hon. Justice Dongban-Mensem was elevated to the Court of Appeal in 2003 and was Acting Presiding Justice of the Lagos Division between November and December 2009.

During her practice days as a lawyer, she brought the popular International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) to Northern Nigeria driving to different northern states to introduce the advocacy champions of women and children.

A woman of many parts she sponsors a daily programme on radio for kids, Bible Stories for Kids on Tin City FM.

This mother of four children and two grandchildren enjoys writing, reading, golfing, working with children, women and the elderly.

  73. I think that what you composed made a bunch of sense. But, think
    on this, suppose you typed a catchier title?
    I ain’t suggesting your content isn’t good., however suppose you
    added a headline to maybe get people’s attention? I mean Appeal Court gets another
    female President – Law and Society Magazine. is a little
    vanilla. You might look at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create news titles
    to get people interested. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to
    grab people interested about everything’ve written. Just
    my opinion, it would make your posts a little livelier.

    but what if you added something that makes people desire more?
    I mean Appeal Court gets another female President – Law and Society Magazine.
    is kinda boring. You might glance at Yahoo’s front page and
    note how they write post headlines to get viewers to open the links.
    You might add a related video or a pic or two to get readers
    excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it could bring your blog a
    little bit more interesting.
