Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has said that his administration has given the necessary support to the State Judiciary to succeed.
He said this in a goodwill message he delivered at the opening ceremonies of the Rivers State Legal Year at the Chief Judge’s Special Court, High Court Complex in Port Harcourt on Thursday.
The Governor said, “Materially, we have been doing our best within available resources to enable our magistrates and judges to securely discharge their duties without fear of intimidation or interference from any person or entity.
“We have provided new vehicles to enhance the comfort and mobility of our magistrates appointed in 2018 by the previous administration. We facilitated the appointment of seven new judges to strengthen our judicial system further and enable our judges to cope with the ever-increasing caseload and demand for justice in the State.
“We are equally determined to finish construction, furnish, and deliver the new High Court complex along Forces Avenue, Old GRA, Port Harcourt before the end of this year.
“Furthermore, we are working closely with the Chief Judge to renovate and equip all existing courts so that our judges and magistrates can have the comfort and convenience that they deserve to perform their duties.
