Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide SanwoOlu, on Thursday, swore-in 13 new judges for the state high courts, urging the state judiciary to always be the best that can compete favourably with the judiciary across the globe.
He implored the judiciary, particularly the new benchers, to dispense justice quickly and fairly, without fear or living and acting above board in all circumstances.
Speaking during the swearing-in of the judges at the Lagos House, Ikeja, Governor Sanwo-Olu, urged the new judges, made up of seven male and six female, to reflect the highest standard of impartiality, compassion, ethical standards, and excellence that the Lagos judiciary is known for in Nigeria.
The 13 new benchers are Justices Fimisola Azeez, Alfred George, Olayinka Ojuromi, Yewande Badejo-Okusanya, Adenike Shonubi, Oyeladun Olayinka, Tunde Sunmonu and Musiliu Adewale. Others are Justices Adegboyega Balogun, Tanimola Anjorin-Ajose, Olawale Alebiosu, Abdul-Raheem Muyideen and Oluwatosin Popoola.
They are among the best 300 lawyers who applied for the position of judges and were appointed as judges of the State High Courts after an oral and written examination conducted by the Nigeria Judicial Council.
