GOVERNOR Chibuike Amaechi has sworn in Hon Justice Peter N.C. Agumagu as the new Acting Chief judge of Rivers state.
At a brief ceremony in Government House, Port Harcourt, the governor charged the new acting Chief Judge to discharge his duties conscientiously just as he congratulated him.
Justice Agumagu was the President of the customary court of Appeal, Rivers state before his new appointment.
He was sworn in Tuesday after the former Chief Judge of the State, Hon. Justice Iche Ndu, retired from service.
Amaechi said the new Acting Chief Judge shall hold his office pending when the National Assembly would approve the candidate recommended for appointment as the State Chief Judge by the National Judicial Commission (NJC).
