\n
Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has commended the nation\u2019s judiciary for living up to its calling as the last hope of the common man.<\/p>\n
The governor also made a case for increased funding of the judiciary to ensure quick dispensation of justice for the greater good of all.<\/p>\n
Nwifuru made the case on Sunday at Umuogudu- Akpu Ngbo, in the Ohaukwu Local Government Area of the state during the Thanksgiving Mass organised by Justice Obande Ogbuinya to mark his elevation to the Supreme Court of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
He stated that unless there is adequate attention to increased funding of the judiciary, dispensation of justice will be adversely affected.<\/p>\n
The governor stressed the need for increased remuneration of judges for effective justice delivery, according to a statement by his Chief Press secretary, Dr Money Uzor.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us allow the judges to do their work. Let us strive to make our judges comfortable and truly independent. Don\u2019t allow the politicians to destroy you,\u201d the governor said.<\/p>\n
While wishing the celebrant success in his career, Nwifuru said Justice Obande embodies vast experience in the legal profession.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is the man we know very well. He is a dedicated and a very humble man. Justice Obande is disciplined and very intelligent.\u201d<\/p>\n
The event was attended by the Governor of Anambra State, Professor Charles Soludo, and Deputy Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ossai.<\/p>\n
