Okowa urges Judges to maintain professional integrity

Delta Governor Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has charged Judges of the state’s judiciary to continue to maintain a high level of professional integrity, fairness, and credibility in the dispensation of justice.

Okowa gave the charge at a valedictory court session to mark the retirement of Chief Judge of the state, Justice Marshal Umukoro, held at High Court 1 Complex, Asaba on Wednesday.

He said that the advice was necessary as it would go a long way in helping the judiciary to retain the confidence of the people, adding that he was, however, proud of the judges in the state.

Okowa congratulated Justice Umukoro for his achievements in the six years of his headship of the judiciary in the state administration and stated that he was truly excited about the achievements recorded by him during the period.
