The Chief Judge of Ogun State, Justice Mosúnmọ́lá Dipeolu says the establishment of a Court of Appeal in the state will ease access to justice and end years of travelling distance for appellate matters.
Justice Dipeolu stated this while reacting to the announcement of the establishment of a Court of Appeal by Governor Dapo Abiodun during a special service to usher in the 2025/2026 Legal Year, held at the Cathedral of St. Peter, Ake, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Describing the approval as a major relief for the judiciary, the Chief Judge also noted that the new division would ease access to justice and decongest the Ibadan division.
Justice Dipeolu who commended Governor Abiodun for the move, added that the state judiciary’s adoption of e-filing and e-service had already positioned Ogun State for a more efficient justice system.
