Enugu Gets Three High Court Judges
Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has sworn in Justices Linda Chiama Okibe, Veronica Chinyere Ajogwu and Esther Nnena Alukwu as Judges of the State High Court.
Justice Okibe was the Chief Registrar of the High Court while Justices Ajogwu and Alukwu were Chief Magistrates (Grade 1).
Ugwuanyi said the action followed the decision of the National Judicial Council (NJC), which recommended three of the eight candidates shortlisted by the Enugu State Judicial Service Commission to be appointed as High Court Judges.
He said their appointment was a “welcome relief to the Enugu State Judiciary, especially in the face of the current dearth of Judges”.
The governor, however, pleaded with the NJC to consider the recommendation for more appointments to “enable us fill the many vacancies that exist in the judiciary”.
Ugwuanyi was confident the judges will approach their new responsibilities with due dignity, integrity and commitment.
