“Our strategic ICT initiatives have firmly entrenched Ogun State as the leading technology-enabled state in Nigeria and today, we are the country’s window and primary gateway to the digital world.

“We have no doubt that an efficient justice administration process has come into trinity with ICT and our efforts to contribute significantly to the actualisation of the vision to give Ogun State focused and qualitative governance and to create the enabling environment for a public-private sector partnership, which is fundamental to the creation of an enduring economic development and individual prosperity of the people of Ogun.

“This innovative platform which is being piloted with six judges of the Ogun State High Court will provide end-to-end digital case management tools to enable electronic management of cases to curb delays in the judicial process and promote convenience for both the judiciary and parties who come before the court”. Abiodun stated.

The governor, who said that Ogun State judiciary was the first in the country to issue Practice Directions that allowed virtual hearings to take place during the COVID 19 pandemic lockdown of 2020, added the Justice sector under the leadership of the Chief Judge; and, the Office of Attorney-General, has been moving towards the development of data-driven, technology-based reforms to improve the administration of justice.
