Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has presented 50 KIA cars to magistrates.
Sanwo-Olu, who made the presentation at Ikeja High Court premises, said his decision to make life comfortable for officials of the state judiciary was in recognition of their critical roles in the interpretation and application of laws for the maintenance of peaceful co-existence of the people.
The governor, accompanied by his Deputy, Dr Femi Hamzat and some commissioners and top government officials, promised to partner the judiciary to ensure an efficient and effective justice service delivery.
The Chief Judge, Justice Kazeem Alogba expresed appreciation to the governor for making his promise a reality, describing it as “a promise kept”.
He maintained that the vehicles were long overdue to the magistrates, who had waited since 2010 for them.
He therefore urged the governor to extend the gesture to other magistrates.
Earlier, the Chief Registrar, Mrs. Taiwo Olatokun, praised the governor for the gesture, pledging that the magistrates would do their best to ensure fair justice delivery for residents of the state.
