Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa on Tuesday said the state judiciary has been granted full autonomy to aid its operations.
The governor in a tweet earlier yesterday, said that at a meeting with the Chief Judge of Delta State, Justice Marshal Umukoro, and other judges in the state’s judiciary, he announced that in line with the law, Delta State’s Judiciary has been accorded full autonomy.
Okowa said the judiciary’s autonomy is a follow up to his signing of the Judiciary Autonomy law in January 2021.
The governor also stated that he has directed the setting up of committees headed by the Chief Judge of Delta State to begin the process of implementing full autonomy for the state judiciary.
He said that as they work to improve their democratic processes across the board, he is proud that Delta State now has both a legislature and judiciary that are fully autonomous.
