Soludo Urges Lawyers to Wear Nigerian-Made Regalia, Calls for Awka Appeal Court to Reopen

Anambra Governor Chukwuma Soludo has urged the legal profession to use locally made wigs and gowns, saying imports send jobs abroad and undermine local industries. He spoke at the opening of the 2026/2027 Legal Year in Awka and called on the Court of Appeal to reopen its Awka Division to help speed up justice in the state. Soludo also said plea bargaining was helping decongest correctional facilities and credited cooperation among the three arms of government with supporting the state’s security framework. Chief Judge Onochie Anyachebelu praised the governor’s relationship with the judiciary and called for more support for the sector.
