Justice Diasy Okocha has been the Acting Chief of Rivers state since May 29, 2015 when he was appointed by Governor Nyesom Wike.

On November 30, the Rivers state government said the National Judicial Council (NJ), had recommended the extension of the appointment of the Acting Chief Judge of Rivers state, Justice Daisy Okocha from December 1, 2015 to January 15, 2016.

The state governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, accordingly approved the extension of the appointment of Justice Daisy Okocha.

However following the Court of Appeal judgement that dismissed the suit challenging the appointment of Justice Okocha as Chief Judge of Rivers State the coast became clear for her swearing as substantive Chief Judge by the state Governor now slated for January 4, 2016.
