Indeed, My Lord, this workshop came at a deserving time considering the strategic role it played in helping our Magistrates to have the requisite training needed towards the effective application of the noble provisions of the Criminal Law.

The workshop which held on the 12th and 13th of September, 2023 afforded the magistrates the opportunity of interaction and having first hand practical knowledge of the application of the new law to the handling of criminal matters in their Courts. It is therefore apposite to commend My Lord, the Honourable, the Chief Judge for this well thought out initiative.

The saying which goes thus: that the signs of a good Friday are always seen from Wednesday aptly captures your assumption of responsibilities as the Chief Judge of Niger State. Indeed, it is crystal clear that the Judiciary in Niger State is lucky to have My Lord at the helm of affairs.

My Lord, as a practitioner and student, I make bold to say that you have inspired me with your novel practices as an eminent jurist, commitment and dedication to duty and your passion for industry & competence.
