Hon. Justice Nweze, who spoke at a gala night organized by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, in honour of the outgoing Chief Judge, yesterday, disclosed that Hon. Justice Emehelu, whose retirement takes effect midnight of Tuesday, September 7, 2021, was able to record those remarkable feats in the State Judiciary because of the kind of governor she served under his leadership. He stressed that she was a lucky Chief Judge.
In his commendation address, Gov. Ugwuanyi described Hon. Justice Emehelu as an erudite lawyer and esteemed Judicial Officer, who bestrode the State Justice Sector as Attorney-General before her well-deserved appointment as a Judge and subsequent appointment as Hon. Chief Judge of the state, “the latter being the jewel in her crown of successes in her career”.
“Your Lordship, Hon. Justice Ngozi Priscilla Emehelu, it is indeed a time to bow out of over two decades of a brilliant and exciting career; a time to give thanks to Almighty God for his wonderful blessings; a time to be celebrated by colleagues, associates, family, friends and the State; a time to get some rest; a time to introspect; and a time to chart a new course in life.
According to her, “My Lord, Hon. Justice C.C. Nweze reminded us what it was years back when we did not have tools with which to work but His Excellency, the Governor of Enugu State did marvelously well to ensure that we did not lack these necessary tools. Her words: “How did I get here if not for somebody who has justice, equity and good conscience in him. Your Excellency, I am indebted to you. I have said it several times because if not that you stood your ground and that you wanted justice to prevail, I couldn’t have been there”.

It's like Federal government doesn't understand that GovWike owns Nigeria judiciary... It's better states collect their VAT and develop their each state with it. What federal government needs to do is to handover some federal government responsibilities to state and free themselves from more burdens. Let the lazy states wake up. FIRS must be so very senseless to make that threat. It cannot be an affront to the rule of law. The court has spoken in favour of paying VAT to RVSG in Rivers State, & anybody now paying it to FIRS is DEEMED NOT TO HAVE PAID & is accordingly liable to pay it again to RVSG.
