Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, Monday tasked the judiciary to come up with innovative models to vigorously tackle delay in justice delivery, saying it was time for all stakeholders to engender speedy and efficient administration of justice system in the country.
Ambode, who spoke at a Special Service held
at the Cathedral Church of Christ in Marina to mark the official commencement of 2018/2019 Legal Year of Lagos State Judiciary, said the issue of delay in justice delivery was still a major concern, and that it was time for all hands to be on deck to enhance confidence in the legal system.
He said Lagos being the economic hub of Africa should be at the vanguard of judicial reforms, adding that the State’s justice sector must be sound, fair and effective.
"As our State remains the cynosure of excellence and the economic hub of Africa, our judiciary must continue to be at the forefront of judicial reforms to meet the expectations of the modern day justice sector.
My lords, we bear the responsibility of 24 million people who look up to you and I to protect them with the law.
Our justice system must remain sound...
