Int’l Women’s Day: Ogoni Queen Hails Women
As Nigeria joins the rest of the world to celebrate the 2021 International Women’s Day today, the Queen of Ogoniland, Georgiana Tenalo has felicitated with Ogoni women and the entire womanhood all over the world.
The United Nation (UN) had declared March 8 of every year as International Women’s Day to promote and protect the dignity of women the world over.
Queen Tenalo in a message to mark this year’s International Women’s Day advised women to observe the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) protocols in their day to day activities.
She urged Nigerian women to use the celebration to speak against the incessant cases of girl child trafficking and abuse as well as rape which had become the order of the day in the society.
On the prevailing insecurity in parts of the country, she charged Nigerian women to be in the vanguard of the fight against kidnapping, banditry, terrorism and other forms of criminality bedeviling the country, pointing out that the spate of insecurity in the country required all hands to be on deck as government alone cannot fight the menace.
She said that her palace was prepared to work in synergy with government and public spirited groups and individuals for the over-all development of Ogoniland and called on the Federal and state governments to fast-track the Ogoni clean-up exercise to give the people a sense of belonging in the scheme of things.
Queen Tenalo hailed the Governor Nyesom Wike- led administration for bringing the State Neighbored Watch Agency to fruition after months of stalemate by the military during their training at NYSC training camp in Nonwa, saying that the agency when fully in operation would support other security agencies in intelligence gathering.
She said that her palace was prepared to work in synergy with government and public spirited groups and individuals for the over-all development of Ogoniland and called on the Federal and state governments to fast-track the Ogoni clean-up exercise to give the people a sense of belonging in the scheme of things.
She also commended the state chief executive for his development strides and enjoined him to also pay attention to the development of the rural areas and human capital.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
