"I am highly impressed and elated with what I have seen this afternoon. So, I want to, on behalf of the judiciary of Kwara State, appreciate His Excellency, the Governor of Kwara State, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, for the wonderful job he is doing for the judiciary," Justice Adebara stated. He further explained that the new headquarters, when completed, will consolidate scattered courts in Ilorin into a single, compact location, thereby facilitating a smoother administration of justice throughout the state.
Not only this one, he is doing so many other things for the judiciary. But, with regard to this, it will greatly ease our jobs. We can see that our courts are just scattered all over in Ilorin and when this project is finally completed, we will have a compact headquarters in Ilorin. Other courts will be able to accommodate more judges and administration of justice will move on smoothly in the state. So, Your Excellency, we thank you sir.
