On Thursday, January 19, 2023, the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Abiodun Oyebanji commissioned the multi-million naira ultra-modern High Court Complex built and donated by the Chairman of Body of Benchers, Chief Wole Olanipekun.
At the event, the governor called on other sons and daughters of Ekiti State to emulate Olanipekun.
Also, during the commissioning of the court building, Oyebanji assured the judiciary that his regime will continue to ensure the effective administration of justice through improvement of the condition of the courts and the welfare of judicial officers in the state.
