Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State has named the newly-constructed High Court Complex after his predecessor, the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.

Aiyedatiwa, speaking during the flag-off ceremony for the construction of the new High Court Complex (Judiciary Village), described the project as a historic milestone for the state.

The contract for the construction of the complex, to be known as the Oluwarotimi Akeredolu Judiciary Complex, is expected to be completed within 48 weeks.

Aiyedatiwa emphasized his administration’s unwavering commitment to advancing justice and ensuring the welfare of judicial officers in the state.

Explaining the decision to name the complex after Akeredolu, Aiyedatiwa stated that the project had been conceived during the tenure of the late governor.

“This is a milestone moment as we flag off the construction of a new High Court Complex in our state. Since Ondo State’s creation in 1976, no effort has been made to provide a modern facility for the administration of justice,” Aiyedatiwa said.

“Today, we are not just making history, but also fulfilling a long-held dream of the judiciary. This development is the realization of the vision of our late leader, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu. It was his desire to provide a state-of-the-art High Court Complex to enhance judicial functions and the welfare of our judiciary. Naming this project the Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu Judiciary Complex is a fitting way to immortalize his legacy.”

The governor clarified that the project was not initiated due to the state’s financial buoyancy, but rather due to a commitment to providing a good working environment with modern facilities that would enhance the welfare of judicial officers, workers, and individuals seeking justice. He emphasized that the ultimate goal was to expedite the dispensation of justice in Ondo State.

The complex will include a ceremonial court, modular courts, a registry, a library, exhibition halls, a utility building, and modern parking facilities.

“It is designed to create a conducive environment for justice and to speed up the dispensation of justice in Ondo State,” Aiyedatiwa added.
