- As gov inspects project, expresses satisfaction with pace, quality
Ondo State Governor, Dr Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has expressed satisfaction with the quality and level of work done on the ongoing construction of the new Ondo State Judiciary Complex in Akure.
The Governor on Saturday paid an unscheduled inspection visit to the project site at the High Court Complex in Akure, in company of the Special Adviser on Infrastructure, Lands and Housing, Engr Abiola Olawoye.
The project, named after former Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, was flagged off on December 27, 2024 with 48 weeks completion time.
The complex will include a ceremonial court, modular courts, a registry, a library, exhibition buildings, a utility building, and modern parking facilities. It is designed to create a conducive environment for the administration of justice and to speed up the dispensation of justice in Ondo State.
Speaking after an inspection of the project, Governor Aiyedatiwa expressed optimism that the project will be delivered on schedule.
The Governor commended the contractor handling the project for the quality of work and for keeping to the timeline given for the project.
He said: “I am happy with how the project is going. From what I have seen today, the work is going very fast with high quality and this is an indication that the project will be completed as planned.
“I got the report from the Special Adviser on Infrastructure, Lands and Housing that the project is going according to the timeline and to budget. We envisaged this would be completed within a year and we are working towards that target.”
The Governor had visited the project site after attending the sitting of the Ondo State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal at the High Court Complex.
The tribunal, after listening to the closing statements of the parties involved, adjourned to June 4, 2025 for judgment.
