Governor Wike swearing in Justice Daisy Wotube Okocha as the Chief Judge

Daily Post reports that the governor described his swearing-in of Justice Okocha as a victory for the rule of law and a respect for the rules of succession as outlined by the National Judicial Council, NJC.
Justice Okocha is the First Female Chief Judge of Rivers State. She has been acting as the state’s Chief Judge since June 1, 2015.
Wike, while performing the swearing-in of Justice Okocha as the Chief Judge of Rivers State on Monday at the Government House, Port Harcourt, said that the state government acted in line with the recommendation of the National Judicial Council, NJC, which was confirmed by the Court of Appeal on December 23, 2015.

A statement issued by the Special Assistant to the Governor on Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu, quotes him as saying that with the recent development, it is clear that governors cannot wilfully disrespect the recommendation of the NJC as was the case with the Amaechi administration in the state.
Wike noted that allowing the judiciary to be subjected to the discretion of sitting governors would desecrate the independence of the Judiciary and lead to abuses that would negatively affect the dispensation of justice.
According to him, “The system will collapse if we refuse to respect the judicial system of succession as laid out. My administration will never do anything that will threaten the rule of law. We will always upholds the customs and traditions of the Judiciary. We never break down the laid down procedure.
“We will never run contrary to our avowed commitment to respect the independence of the Judiciary at all times”.
The Governor charged the new Chief Judge of Rivers State to always uphold the constitution and carry other members of the bench along in the decision making process.
In her remarks after being sworn in, the new Rivers State Chief Judge, Justice Okocha thanked God for making her elevation possible after two years of uncertainty.
She said: “This is a solemn moment for me. The NJC recommendation of 22nd July, 2013 came to manifestation on Monday, 4th January, 2016. God has glorified himself in my elevation as Chief Judge. Man can try, but only God’s counsel will prevail.”
Justice Okocha commended Governor Wike for giving the Judiciary the required independence to carry out its constitutional responsibilities.

Oil Prices Rise After Saudi Arabia Cuts Ties With Iran
The hostile relationship existing between Iran and Saudi Arabia as a result of the latter's decision to execute a prominent Shia cleric accused of treasonable acts, has caused yet another problem in the oil sector.

Oil prices rose in Asia Monday after crude oil producer Saudi Arabia cut diplomatic ties with Iran following a row over the Saudi execution of a Shiite preacher.
Saudi Arabia announced the decision Sunday, a day after protesters ransacked its embassy in Tehran over the execution of Nimr al-Nimr. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubair said Iranian diplomats had 48 hours to leave. Iran’s supreme leader warned Saudi Arabia it would face “quick consequences” for the execution.
Fearing further upheaval in the already volatile Middle East, the U.S. has urged regional leaders to try to ease tensions. At around 0610 GMT, U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate for delivery in February was up 77 cents, or 2.08 percent, at $37.81. Brent crude for February was trading 91 cents, or 2.44 percent, higher at $38.19.
“Oil started the new year on the mend, as Asian markets reacted to fears that geopolitical tensions in the Middle East may threaten the supply of oil,” said Bernard Aw, market strategist at IG Markets in Singapore.
Despite the rise, Aw said the persistent global crude oversupply would continue to weigh on prices over the longer term.
“Unless we see a convincing drop in oil output from these two nations, and the broader oil-producing community, the supply glut issue will persist, which means oil prices would remain under pressure for a longer period,” he told AFP.
Sanjeev Gupta, head of the Asia Pacific oil and gas practice at professional services firm EY, said that“continued adverse news involving the Middle East region could result in spike in prices, at least in the short term”. But Gupta added that the current supply glut would likely restrict any sharp upswings.
Saudi Arabia is the biggest producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which last month decided against cutting output levels despite a plunge in oil prices. Iran is also a key OPEC member.
Catholic Priest Sacked By University for Allegedly Having an Affair With 33-year-old Student (Photo)
A catholic Father and high-ranking university staff has lost his job after he was entangled in a compromising affair with a mother of two who was a student at the university.
Father Paul Rowan
A Catholic priest has been sacked from a London university amid allegations he had a relationship with a 33-year-old student, it has been claimed.
According to a report by Dailymail, Father Paul Rowan was reportedly dismissed from his job as senior lecturer and programme director of theology and religious studies at St Mary's University, in Twickenham. It came amid claims he had become close to undergraduate Charmaine Garton - a mother-of two - about two years ago.
According to the Sun on Sunday, Father Rowan is understood to be appealing against the decision, which was made in November. But the 47-year-old is also due to face a church probe, it is claimed.
A church source told the Sun: 'There are employment proceedings taking place regarding his dismissal from the university. Once they are concluded his future will be determined by the church. It is a matter which will be taken very seriously.'
Father Rowan, from Warrington, Cheshire, is popular among students at the south west London university, according to the Sun. One student is quoted as saying: 'He was easily the best lecturer I had at the university. He was very engaging and made the subject really great.'
The Liverpool fan, who once boxed for England under 19s, joined St Mary's University around eight years ago. Father Rowan did not respond to the Sun's request for a comment while Ms Garton said she could not comment. MailOnline has requested a comment from the university.
