RiversThe Rivers State Governor, Mr Nyesom Wike, has sworn-in the newly appointed Justice Adama Iyayi-Laminkanra as the new Acting Chief Judge of River State.

This follows the retirement of Justice Daisy Okocha as the first female Chief Judge of the State.

Mr Wike reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to continue to accord women their rightful positions in government, no matter the circumstances.

He noted that women will continue to enjoy more than 35 percent of appointments in his administration; noting that women occupy about 70 percent in different positions.

“Nobody should talk about twenty five percent or thirty percent, the women appointed since my administration came into power, has covered up to 70 percent”, he said

Governor Wike while congratulating the new acting Chief Judge of Rivers State, Justice Iyayi-Lamikanra on her new office, urged her to consolidate on the legacies of her predecessor.

It is expected that the peace the state judiciary appears to be enjoying in recent times will not scuttled again by political intrigues.
