Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike has named a block in the newly-inaugurated Justice Iche Ndu Magistrates Court Complex in the state after his wife, Justice Eberechi Nyesom Wike.
Wike, who disclosed this during the inauguration of the complex on Thursday, May 4, also named other blocks after some top judges in the state.
Wike revealed he decided to name one block after his wife so as not to leave office ’empty-handed’.
“The first building by my immediate left has to be named Justice Chibuzor Amadi Block. And then we remembered one of our own who is late, Justice Elizabeth Membre. Block B is named after her. The President of the Customary Court of Appeal was also a Magistrate before, so the third block is named after the President of the Customary Court of Appeal.
“And then the last block, I said I will not go empty-handed. Every day, people say Wike you are generous. If I’m generous to myself, is it bad? So as I am leaving, let me also name that one after my wife. So, it will be named after Justice Suzzette Eberechi Nyesom Wike. What matters to me is Nyesom Wike, so my name is there and that block is for my dear wife,” Wike said.
“Why did we name this place after Justice Ndu? During his tenure as Chief Judge, he did very well – it was the period I was the Chief of Staff. You see a Chief Judge coming with dignity. You see a Chief Judge and you know that he is a Chief Judge and he contributed to the growth of the judiciary.
“We felt like, now that he is alive, let us remember that he has done his own work; that is why we have to name this complex, Justice Iche Ndu Magistrates Court Complex,” he explained.

MEANING OF ASUU STRIKE
TO ALL OUR FOREIGN FRIENDS WHO ARE CURIOUS TO KNOW THE MEANING OF ASUU STRIKE: ASUU Strike is an annual festival done in
Nigerian Universities whereby students are not allowed to go to school during the festival. The date of the event is always fixed
by the lecturers of Nigerian state
and federal universities.
The event is remarkable in that everyone is a spectator.
Highlight of the festival is the wrestling match between federal executive council and the leaders of the lecturers.
There is no referee to officiate the wrestling match, as such the
wrestling comes to an end when both contestants are tired.
The duration of the festival is indefinite depending on the strength of the wrestlers.
If you are wondering were to
spend your vacation then Nigeria should be your destination because the festival is at its peak.
Happy ASUU STRIKE to Nigerian students!!!
From Me, I challenge every Nigerian student to sit down this period and find the facts about the recurrent dilemma and battle between ASUU and FG and take a positive stand never to let this continue in a few years to come. Else the same hands that criticise whatever side of the two wrestlers today will sure be in that position a few years from now and will do the same things or even worse.
ASUU and FG fight is only a reflection of the greed and insensitivity, I see in many Nigerian establishments even in the offices of the same ASUU members who accuse the FG of the same.
May God help you and I to raise Hope for the Future of our dear country, Nigeria. IT BEGINS WITH YOU AND I.
