Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo of Kogi State, on Tuesday, presented additional 11 cars to judges in the state.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mr Ododo promised to deliver the last batch of the judges\u2019 cars while presenting 11 units to the state Chief Judge, Josiah Mejabi, at Muhammad Buhari Square, Lokoja, the state capital.<\/p>\n
The governor, represented by the Head of Service, Elijah Evimemi, said that the gesture was a proof of his administration\u2019s priority for the welfare of judicial officers in the state for optimum service and results.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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 arm (of government).<\/p>\n
\u201cThat day, this government gave out 14 vehicles and today, we are giving out 11 more to our hardworking judicial officers in the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope to supply more soon so that it can go round all our judges and magistrates operating in the state,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mr Ododo urged the judicial officers to reciprocate the government\u2019s gesture by doing justice to all and sundry seeking their service in courtrooms.<\/p>\n
Responding, the Chief Judge thanked the governor for keeping to his promise to the judiciary by donating utility vehicles to the judicial officers in the state.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
He described Mr Ododo as a people\u2019s governor, based on the people-oriented policies and programmes being implemented and felt by citizens.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can openly say here that his administration is an inclusive one that is characterised by fairness and justice.<\/p>\n
\u201cOdodo 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Chief Judge expressed the hope that after being through with the health sector, the governor would look at the renovation of courts to make them more conducive.
