Aiyedatiwa names court complex after Akeredolu

On Friday, the Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa named the new High Court complex to be constructed in the state after his predecessor, the late Rotimi Akeredolu.
Aiyedatiwa became the state governor after Akeredolu’s death on December 27, 2023.
The governor, who spoke at the flag-off ceremony for the construction of the new high court complex, described the project as a historic milestone for the state.
He said the project also known as the Judiciary Village in Akure was conceived by Akeredolu.
Aiyedatiwa said: “This is a milestone celebration as we flag off the construction of a new high court complex in our dear state. 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 making history and fulfilling a long-standing dream of the judiciary.
“This development is the actualisation of the dream and vision of our late leader, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu. He desired to provide a state-of-the-art high court complex to enhance the workload and welfare of our judiciary.

“Therefore, naming this project the Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu Judiciary Complex is a fitting way to immortalise 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.
“This complex will include a ceremonial court, modular courts, a registry, a library, exhibition buildings, a utility building, and modern parking facilities. It’s designed to create a conducive environment for the administration of justice and to speed up the dispensation of justice in Ondo State.”
