The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has sworn-in eight new judges appointed to serve in the Edo State High Court, assuring the judiciary of his administration’s support.

The governor gave the assurance while addressing the new judges during their swearing-in ceremony at Government House, in Benin City.

He congratulated the judges and urged them to carry out their duties without fear or favour as their appointment is from God and not any man.

Obaseki said his administration has taken a step further in making Edo one of the judicial hubs in the country, stating, “Today, history is made with the swearing in of eight new judges for Edo State High Court, which is part of our commitment to strengthen the judiciary. For us to have a virile democracy, we must strengthen the rule of law, making sure that the judiciary is one of the strongest arms of our democracy in Nigeria.

“This morning, we are a step further in fulfilling our desire to make Edo State one of the strongest judiciary hubs in Nigeria. Our dream of making Edo an economic hub will not be realised if our laws are not strong.

“Without law and order, without security we will not be able to attract the required level of investment to create the jobs and provide the social economic activities which we have promised our people,” he added.

According to him, “We will continue as executives to invest in the required infrastructure for the Judges to work more effectively and smoothly. We will be handing over the newly built Court Complex this week. It has been connected to Ossiomo Power grid with 24/7 electricity supply. We have connected broadband to the building, making it ready for the deployment of technology.”
