Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has praised the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, for approving the establishment of the Abeokuta Division of the Court of Appeal.
The governor described the approval as a landmark decision that will strengthen justice delivery, improve investor confidence, and boost the state’s economy.
Speaking at the Treasury Board Meeting on the 2025–2028 Medium-Term Expenditure Framework and the 2026 Budget Session in Abeokuta, Prince Abiodun said the new division will ease the heavy workload on the Ibadan Division, which currently handles about 75 percent of Ogun State’s appeal cases.
He announced that the state has secured land for the new complex along Kobape Road and will begin construction immediately, even before federal funding arrives.
The governor commended Justice Dongban-Mensem for her foresight and fairness, describing the approval as a major contribution to Ogun’s Ease of Doing Business ranking and a testament to strong collaboration between the judiciary and the state government.
