The Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has inaugurated six new judges to serve on the Kwara State High Court.

The swearing-in ceremony took place on Friday, September 13 at Government House in Ilorin.

This was disclosed by the Governor in a post shared on his social media handle on Saturday.

AbdulRazaq while talking to newly appointed judges advised them to discharge their duties with diligence, impartiality, and overriding interest of the community and national security, stating that they have been entrusted with the tremendous responsibility of upholding justice and ensuring that the rights of every citizen are protected.

He wrote, “Yesterday evening, I inaugurated six new judges for the Kwara State High Court at Government House Ilorin.

“In my remarks at the inauguration ceremony, I urged the newly appointed judges to discharge their duties with diligence, impartiality, and overriding interest of the community and national security. They have been entrusted with the immense responsibility of upholding justice and ensuring that the rights of every citizen are protected.

“I congratulate the new judges and their families. I also celebrate their hard work and other noble qualities that earned them the position.

“Our government will continue to support the judiciary. Recently, I approved the reconstruction of the former Revenue Court at GRA Ilorin to serve as courtrooms for more judges, while also creating a more befitting environment for the Revenue Courts in the state. All things being equal, our desire is for this to be followed with the construction of a new court complex to ensure our state has more befitting courtrooms.”
