Abiodun said that his administration had supported the ease of dispensation of justice in the state as well as increased the quarterly allowance of judges.
The governor said that his administration had embarked on the construction of a housing scheme for judges.

He recalled that his administration was able to facilitate the E-Registry and virtual sitting which were introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Abiodun added that collaboration with lawyers in the private sector which allowed them to offer free representation to those that could not afford it, was also facilitated.
In her response, Chief Justice Dipeolu acknowledged the governor for his support to the judicial arm of government.
She assured him that the state judiciary would continue to perform its duties and support the state government.
