Rivers Speaker Harps On Good Judicial System 

Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Ikuinyi-Owaji Ibani, says a good judicial system should avail both the rich and the poor access to justice. 
He made the remarks, on Tuesday, at The Government House during the signing into law of two bills passed by the House for Judicial Institute and Housing Scheme for judicial officers by the Governor, Chief  Nyesom Wike.
Ibani said the bills would provide the foundation to serve as critical elements in the administration of justice in the State.
According to him, the major enabler of good governance is a well-developed legal system that equals the status of the civilisation seen in the polity.
“What you’re doing in providing infrastructure to make our state make progress on all fronts, not necessarily on one front is novel. On behalf of the House of Assembly, let me thank you. 
“We might not know because we are also part players on the scene today but when we leave, we will be able to look back and say, as members of Rivers State House of Assembly,  we worked under Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.  
“We urge you to do more. We will continue to partner without hesitation,  without recourse to whatever sentiment anybody would have expressed as long as we are doing it in the interest of the people and the state.”
Presenting the bills for signing, Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Martin Amaewhule said the Assembly had considered the two bills with expeditious attention because they were considered  in the best interest of the State.
