Ondo AG Hails Governor Aiyedatiwa's Support for Legal Sector Transformation

Ondo State's Attorney General, Dr. Olukayode Ajulo, has lauded Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for his significant backing of reforms aimed at transforming the state's legal sector. Ajulo described the governor's commitment as visionary and pivotal to strengthening the rule of law.

“

Mr. Governor has continued to demonstrate an uncommon commitment to strengthening institutions and deepening the rule of law in Ondo State.

The commendation follows the Ondo State House of Assembly's passage of two key amendment bills: the Ondo State Law Commission Law, 2001, and the Ondo State Office of the Public Defender Law, 2004. These legislative changes are intended to boost institutional efficiency and improve justice administration.

According to the Attorney General, the amendments will promote operational efficiency, ensure career progression for law officers, and prevent external interference in the Ministry of Justice. He emphasized that the reforms will enhance coordination across government bodies, improve legal service delivery, and reinforce professionalism.

“

His support for progressive legal reforms and efficient justice administration reflects a leadership that understands the importance of a functional legal system to governance, development, and public trust.

Ajulo specifically thanked the House Committee on Judiciary, Public Petitions, Ethics and Privileges, chaired by Hon. (Barr.) Rotimi Abitogun, for their dedication. He reiterated his appreciation for Governor Aiyedatiwa's consistent support, stating that the reforms would not have progressed without his encouragement. Ajulo expressed optimism that the amended laws, once assented, will bolster public confidence and support a more responsive justice system in Ondo State.

Thse reforms would not have gained this momentum without his visionary backing and consistent encouragement.
