Kogi Governor, Usman Ododo, has fulfilled his pledge to the judiciary by presenting 11 new cars to judges in the state.
The presentation took place at Muhammad Buhari Square in Lokoja, with the Governor’s message conveyed by Head of Service, Elijah Evimemi.
This distribution of vehicles is part of Ododo’s commitment to enhancing the welfare of judicial officers, following an earlier delivery of 14 vehicles.
Ododo emphasized that more vehicles would be provided to ensure that all judges and magistrates in the state receive their share.
He stated, “The issuance of the 11 vehicles is in fulfillment of my promise to the judiciary on the day of the swearing-in of newly-appointed judges in July to add more cars to the judiciary.
“That day, this government gave out 14 vehicles and today, we are giving out 11 more to our hardworking judicial officers in the state.
“We hope to supply more soon so that it can go round all our judges and magistrates operating in the state.”
Ododo urged the judicial officers to reciprocate the government’s gesture by doing justice to all and sundry seeking their service in courtrooms.
In his remarks, the chief judge appreciated the governor for keeping to his promise to the judiciary by donating utility vehicles to the judicial officers in the state.
Mejabi said that the vehicles would go a long way in assisting them in the performance of their duties of adjudication on matters concerning the unity and peaceful coexistence of Kogi residents.
He praised Ododo as a governor who follows through on his commitments and ensures fairness and justice in his administration.
“I can openly say here that his administration is an inclusive one that is characterised by fairness and justice.
“Ododo is a man of his words. His words are followed by actions. I believe he will soon donate the last batch of the vehicles to us so that all the judicial officers will have theirs,” he added.
