The wireless internet service portal was installed at the High/Magistrate Court complex in Ikorodu. “Lawyers and all users of the Ikorodu Court House have been benefitting from this largesse. This is novel in the history of Courts in Nigeria and it is a plus to this administration.

“Another novel achievement of this administration is the invitation of guests at the Branch’s Monthly meetings. This has afforded members the opportunity to interact with Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Justices and other legal luminaries. For all these novel achievements and more, we have reasons to say thank you God,” he stated.
