Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has launched Ogun Public Interest Law Partnership, OPILP, as part of efforts to enhance access to justice and address legal needs of the poor, indigent, and marginalized residents across the three Senatorial Districts of the state.
While launching the programme at Oke Mosan Abeokuta, Governor Abiodun said that OPILP would be properly monitored towards ensuring that the partnership was not abused by the people with sufficient means to afford the services of lawyers.
While pointing out that courts were the last hope for the common man, Governor Abiodun said that launching of OPILP was to ensure that residents of the state were given opportunity to express their grievances properly before a court of law.
The Governor explained that the initiative would enable citizens seeking free legal services to submit applications to the OPILP, towards providing free legal services to such applicant.
Earlier, Ogun State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General, Akingbolahan Adeniran had said that the state would soon launch
introduction of Forensics into criminal investigation and prosecution, which would help to improve the experiences of residents in terms of justice dispensation.
