Sheriff Oborevwori, governor of Delta, has presented 20 Toyota Prado sports utility vehicles (SUVs) to judges in the state.
Speaking in Asaba, the capital of Delta, on Tuesday at the inauguration of the state’s new high court complex, Oborevwori said the presentation of the SUVs to judges fulfilled his promise.
Oborevwori said the completion of the high court building was in line with his commitment to completing projects inherited from previous administrations.
The governor said he was motivated to complete the project because the judiciary was the only arm of government without a befitting building for its operations in the state.
He thanked former President Goodluck Jonathan, who inaugurated the new high court complex, for his interest in the progress of Delta state.
“On behalf of the government and good people of Delta State, I thank you for your friendship, partnership, and sustained interest in the progress of our dear state and Nigeria in general,” the governor said.
“Of the three arms of government, only the judiciary was lacking a befitting office building.
“This motivated me to hasten the completion of this project.
“I am glad that today the narrative has changed for good.
“The implication going forward is that the cause of justice will now be better served for the greater good of all.
“As a government, we have taken steps to further ensure that our judges and associated staff not only operate in a conducive and enabling environment but are also provided with the necessary tools that complement the functionality and prestige of their offices.”
