The Delta Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has presented twenty Toyota Prado sports utility vehicles to judges in the state.
News About Nigeria reports that he made the presentation on Tuesday at the inauguration of the state’s new high court complex.
He said the presentation of the SUVs to judges was a fulfilment of “a promise made and a promise kept.”
Oborevwori said the completion of the high court building was in line with his commitment to the completion of projects inherited from previous administrations.
He said he was motivated to complete the project because the judiciary was the only arm of government without a befitting building for their operations.
He thanked Jonathan for inaugurating the project, describing him as a “great Nigerian patriot, statesman, and leader.”
“On behalf of the government and good people of Delta State, I thank you for your friendship, partnership, and sustained interest in the progress of our dear state and Nigeria in general,” the governor said.
“Of the three arms of government, only the judiciary was lacking a befitting office building. This motivated me to hasten the completion of this project. I am glad that today, the narrative has changed for good. The implication, going forward, is that the cause of justice will now be better served for the greater good of all.
“As a government, we have taken steps to further ensure that our judges and associated staff not only operate in a conducive and enabling environment, but are also provided with the necessary tools that complement the functionality and prestige of their offices.”
Olukayode Ariwoola, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), represented by Bolaji Yusuf, presiding judge of the court of appeals, Asaba division, commended the state government for the project.
