Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa has signed into law the Bill to add eleven to the number of judges in the State.
The new law boosts the number of judges in Ondo State from 24 to 35 in what would be the first of such development since the State was created in 1976.
Governor Aiyedatiwa underlined his administration’s commitment to supporting the judiciary, including the recent approval and mobilization of contractors for the construction of a new ultra-modern judiciary complex and ongoing training for judges both locally and internationally.
He equally promised to ensure timely and faster administration of justice, thereby reducing congestion in courts.
In his welcome address, Justice Olusola Odusola, the Chief Judge of Ondo State, stated that the signing into law of the amendment bill to increase the number of judges is a testament to the Governor’s commitment to enhancing the efficiency of court matters.
