Abia judges, judiciary workers not owed – registrar
According to Victoria Okey-Nwokeukwu, the Chief Registrar of the Abia State High Court, no judge or other member of the court in Abia State is entitled to any back pay.

In response to a media story alleging that judges in the state had been unpaid for months, Okey- Nwokeukwu pressed those responsible for the news to provide evidence.

She asked how Judges in Abia would be singled out and owed, and she responded by stating that the National Judiciary Council, NJC, pays Judge salaries across the board.

“There is no judge of Abia State judiciary that is being owed any arrears including all other judiciary workers in Abia State”, she declared.

She, however, said that:” Abia Government only pays the allowance of Honourable Judges including their vacation allowance”, adding that “the 2022 annual vacation allowance has been paid.”

The Registrar described the report as ” misleading and an embarrassment to the State Government”.

Addressing newsmen Saturday in Umuahia, the Registrar urged members of the public to discountenance the report, insisting that Judges in Abia receive their salaries promptly.

The Registrar demanded an apology from those behind the publication.
