Edo State Chief Judge, CJ, Justice Daniel Okungbowa, says his vision is to make the state judiciary better than he met it and build on his predecessor’s successes.
Justice Okungbowa made the remark at a ceremonial court session marking the commencement of a new legal year for the Edo State Judiciary.
While pledging zero tolerance for corruption, he pledged to automate court proceedings and evolve a fully technology-driven judicial process.
He acknowledged the cordial relationship between the state judiciary and the government and sued for its sustenance within the constitutional limits of the separation of powers.
He told the gathering that his administration would work towards reducing the workload on judges occasioned by multiple jurisdictions of judges with the attendant strains.
On manpower development, he assured that the training and retraining of various cadres of judicial staff would be sustained, though the state judiciary was yet to attain financial autonomy.
The Edo State chief judge implored the state government to undertake massive renovation of dilapidated judicial structures across the state, especially those outside Benin City.
