Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has named the new ‘Judiciary Village’ (High Court Complex) after the late Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu upon its completion in 48 weeks.
Speaking at the flag-off ceremony for the project, Aiyedatiwa described the construction of the High Court Complex as a historic milestone for the state.
He thereby reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to advancing justice and prioritising the welfare of judicial officers in Ondo State.
Aiyedatiwa noted that the vision for the Judiciary Village originated during the administration of his predecessor and former boss, Akeredolu.
Dailyeconomy gathered that the complex will feature a ceremonial court, modular courts, a registry, a library, exhibition buildings, a utility building, and modern parking facilities, among other state-of-the-art amenities.
He could be heard saying, “Since the creation of Ondo State in 1976, no attempt has been made to provide a modern edifice for the administration of justice. Today, we are not only making history but also fulfilling a long-standing dream of the judiciary.
“This development is the actualization of the dream and vision of our late leader, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu. It was his desire to provide a state-of-the-art High Court Complex to enhance the workload and welfare of our judiciary. Naming this project the Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu Judiciary Complex is a fitting way to immortalize his legacy.
“Let me state with all sense of responsibility that we are embarking on this project at this time not because the state is too buoyant financially but because of our commitment to providing a good working environment with modern facilities that will enhance the welfare of our judicial officers, workers, and people seeking justice, with the overall aim of speeding up the dispensation of justice in Ondo State.
