“This also makes a total of 11 High Court judges to whom I have administered the oath of office within five years in office.
“I congratulate the newly appointed judges and their families. I also celebrate your hard work and other noble qualities that brought you here. Today, you have been entrusted with the immense responsibility of upholding justice and ensuring that the rights of every citizen are protected.
“As you take on this noble task, remember that your decisions will shape the lives of individuals and the fabric of our society. Let me remind you of the remarkable words of Usman Dan Fodio, who said that ‘a kingdom can endure unbelief, but it cannot endure injustice’.”
The governor said he would continue to support the judiciary, recalling how the administration had renovated and remodelled several courts within the state.
Recently, I approved the reconstruction of the former Revenue Court at GRA Ilorin to serve as courtrooms for more judges, while also creating a more befitting environment for the Revenue Courts in the State,” he said.
