The Ondo State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr. Kayode Ajulo (SAN, OON) has said that the new state judiciary complex approved by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa would significantly boost economic growth in the state.

The Aiyedatiwa administration recently approved N31 billion contract for a new High Court Complex and N1.2 billion for renovating the VIP lodge.

Ajulo, in a statement made available to CITY LAWYER today, said that investment in the justice sector is aimed at securing democracy in the state.

According to the senior lawyer, construction of the complex would also proactively secure the future of Ondo state. His words: “The New Judiciary Complex will also significantly boost access to justice by people and residents of Ondo state.”

“Ondo state government is prioritising infrastructure for long-term welfare, and not quick fixes.

“The Ondo state government’s approach to strengthening the economy by actively making this huge investment is the most effective way to alleviate poverty.”

Ajulo noted that the award of the contract for the new Judiciary complex and the VIP lodge was not only a strategic investment but also a timely and essential step forward for the growth and advancement of the State and its people.

He explained that the critical project aligned with the state’s broader goals while emphasizing enhanced access to justice, stimulating the local economy, and solidifying Ondo State’s commitment to progress and sustainable development.

”True progress lay not in temporary relief, but in building a future where justice, opportunity, and growth are accessible to all,” he said.

“The decisions taken by the Ondo state Executive Council are both legal and highly strategic. It is almost amusing that some of the same individuals calling for infrastructural upgrades are now criticizing this transformative decision.

“Infrastructure improvements must start somewhere, and it’s the responsibility of a visionary government to assess what is critically needed and ensure its accessibility to the public.”

The Attorney General noted that before he was appointed the Chief Law Officer of the state, he was vocal about the difficulties Ondo people faced in accessing justice and the subpar conditions of the judicial system in the state

He said: “This new High Court Complex is a practical, long-awaited solution that I believe is appreciated by well-meaning residents who understand that a robust judicial infrastructure is essential for effective governance and the rule of law.”
