Justice Benedict Kanyip, OFR, the Honorable President of the National Industrial Court, has directed that the Owerri Judicial Division of the Court reopens for regular court sessions and that other Court activities resume on Monday, January 9, 2023.

The National Industrial Court Act of 2006’s Sections 21(1) and (2), along with all other enabling provisions, were cited in Justice Kanyip’s order.

According to the Hon. President, the Executive Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodimma, gave assurances and guarantees that the judges and staff of the court in the state would get proper security and protection, which made the decision for reopening necessary.

It would be recalled that Justice Kanyip had on June 2022 while ordering the closure of Owerri Division, maintained that the Court shall not be reopened until all issues concerning disobedience to Court order are resolved and the necessary guarantees are given.
