JUDICIARY: OYO C.J SWEAR- IN 15 NEW MAGISTRATES (SEE FULL LIST)

 

The Oyo State Chief Judge, Justice Iyabo Yerima, on Monday swore in 15 new magistrates, saying it would enable the state judiciary to perform better.

Yerina, at the swearing-in ceremony held at the State High Court premises, Ring Road, Ibadan, said that the Oyo State Magistracy had, over time, suffered a shortfall in the number of magistrates.

She said there were only 19 magistrates presiding in the various Magistrates’ Courts, spread over all the magisterial districts in the state.

According to her, there have been circumstances where a magistrate would preside over more than one magisterial district

She was, however, optimistic that the situation was set to change.

“With the appointment of more qualified legal practitioners as magistrates, I am confident to state that the judicial arm of government will be many steps closer to responding adequately to its statutory responsibilities aggressively.

“This will ensure that justice is not only done, but seen as done to all and sundry,” she said.

The chief judge charged the newly appointed magistrates to exercise their authority with fairness, impartiality, honour and utmost integrity.

“You have the power to shape lives and communities through the decisions you make; with this power comes an even greater responsibility.

“Remember that the scales of justice are balanced, and it’s your duty to ensure that they remain so,” Yerima said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the new magistrates are: Adebola Adedoyin, Olasumbo Kudirat, Raji Oluwaferanmi Ayomide, Adelabu Olajumoke Victoria, Rufus Adeoluwa, Ige Oladipupo and Jimoh Kazeem.

OMITUNTUN 2.0: STILL COUNTING, AN UNIMAGINABLE FACELIFT, OUTCOME OF CAMPAIGN PROMISES, MOE WRITES

 OMITUNTUN 2.0: STILL COUNTING, AN UNIMAGINABLE FACELIFT, OUTCOME OF CAMPAIGN PROMISES, MOE WRITES

In 2019, Gov Seyi Makinde  promised the good people of Oyo State an Accelerated Development administration prior to the campaign trail that made his emergence free fair, credible and worthwhile.

Upon his swearing-in, he introduced a model that will be flexible to execute the four pillars towards a productive accelerated development on Security, Education, Infrastructure and AgriBusiness for expansion of economy. The model till today still valid and helping the projection plan in Making Oyo Great Again (M.O.G.A) and it's not far fetch, Data, Logic and Science.

However, sequel to the successful tenure of Omituntun 1.0, while Gov Seyi Makinde  was on campaign ground across the state towards Omituntun 2.0 sustainable development for growth and prosperity, due to the high level of performance in the area of infrastructure across all geopolitical zones in Oyo State by connecting the entire Oke Ogun in one full basking basket as first of it's kind in the history of the state. He said and I quote:

"Our top-to-bottom approach also means that under Omituntun 2.0, we will ensure that we complete all ongoing road projects and give priority attention to internal roads in urban areas."

Now, show me a Leader, Exceptional Inspirational Transformational Educationist Revolutionary Missionary Master of note like The Man Called MAKINSSON Engr. Dsc. GSSRS KJW Abiodun Oluseyi MAKINDE FNSE whose leadership trait spreading like staphylococcus in the national and sub-national Political zones hence why he was elected as the Vice chairman NGF as well recently honored a chieftaincy title as Aare Orile Igbon kingdom.

Let me burst your imagination by informing the public that, a face-lift is ongoing at some various inner roads in each of the state local Government across the state such as, The Construction of Hydraulic Structures, Earthworks and Asphaltic Tarring length 1.3km Molade focus junction-C.A.C primary School Akuro junction, an access road linking from wema bank in Iwo Road to Monatan, Iwo road Axis in Egbeda, Abayomi Rosewale Iwo road of about 700m in Ibadan North East Local Government being handled by the Executive Chairman of each LG respectively and a host of many.

Beyond rhetorics, contrary to some insinuations and innuendos from enemies of the state and charlatans that, the chairmen and Algon are inside the state government's pocket hence incapacitating them to perform their Democratic functions as Elected chairmen in their Local Government to deliver good Politics and Policies that brings Democracy to the Grassroots.

On this note, I beseech the good people of Oyo State to continue to cooperate, support and criticize constructively if need be with this administration of My Principal Effulgent Leader, Engr. Seyi Makinde and I am using this avenue to admonish all groups of opposition in the state whether dead or sick to please join hands together on sustainable development goal towards the future of the State in mind. It's time for Governance, set aside Politics as Players will come and Go, But our State Remains.

Your's Servant Leader,

Egalitarian Dig. Com.
