Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has presented seven vehicles to High Court Judges ‘to make their work easy and ensure efficient justice delivery’.
Makinde, who was represented at the presentation by Secretary to the State Government (SSG) Mrs. Olubamiwo Adeosun, said it was in fulfilment of the government’s promise to judiciary.
He said: “The government gave some vehicles to some judges in 2021, and is also planning to provide more for Magistrates. The vehicles are brand new and not manufactured in Nigeria.
“Work is in progress to tar the state High Court premises and meet the judiciary’s other needs.”
The state’s Chief Judge, Justice Munta Abimbola, thanked the government for the gesture, and appealed for more support for the judiciary.
“We are very grateful for your support and love, and ask that our other needs be met, especially the tarring of the court premises,” he said.
