Eberechi Nyesom-Wike, wife of Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, has been sworn in as a Judge at the Court of Appeal, marking a milestone widely shared on social media.
Her journey to this prestigious position is inspiring: born Eberechi Suzzette Obuzor in Odiokwu, Rivers State, she is a pioneer in the field of law. After obtaining her LL.B and LL.M degrees and being called to the Nigerian Bar in 1997, she rose from a Grade II Judge to a Judge of the Supreme Court in 2012.
Her appointment to the Court of Appeal is a landmark moment for diversity and gender equality in the judiciary. In a field traditionally dominated by men, her elevation represents a significant step forward.
The news sparked a flood of congratulatory messages online, with many celebrating her achievement. Twitter user @YNaija summed up the sentiment, capturing a proud moment as FCT Minister Nyesom Wike looked at her with a smile during the swearing-in ceremony.
