The Anambra State Government on Thursday named Lawrence Uzuodu as the substantive Chief Registrar of the state.
Uzuodu, until his appointment, was the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of Magistrate Courts in the state.
At the swearing-in, the state’s Chief Judge, Justice Peter Umeadi, told Uzuodu to be firm, strict and disciplined in discharging his responsibilities.
Umeadi said: “You should put in place a mechanism to ensure discipline of judiciary staff in line with the current administration’s zero tolerance to corruption.
“Evolve a reward system and welfare package for staff that excels in their duty.”
He said that the high and magistrates’ court rules of the state would soon be revised, warning judicial officers against truancy and lateness to duty.
Uzuodu pledged his commitment to putting into practice lofty ideas that would ensure that the judiciary remained the last hope of the common man.
The new chief registrar was appointed by the state’s judicial service commission, following the retirement of the former Chief Registrar, Doris Ezeani, last November.
