Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has called on judges to show more commitment in the administration of justice, urging them to observe their oath of office as they work for the state. Those sworn-in by the Rivers State Governor as Judges for the State High Court include Justice Florence Atili Fiberesima (Immediate Past Solicitor General/Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Justice), Justice Mark Onyema Chuku, ( Former Chief Magistrate 1/Deputy Chief Registrar), and Justice Lemea Ngbor-Abina (Former Private Legal Practitioner). For the Rivers State Customary Court of Appeal, the governor inaugurated Justice Ericonda Amadi as a Judge. He told the judges: “It is easy to take the oath of office and difficult to abide by the oath of office. He regretted that a few judges, aside serving in the State Judiciary, were also traditional rulers and advised such judges to choose between the traditional institution and the judiciary.
