The governor made this appeal during a courtesy visit by Judges of the Edo State Judiciary, led by the Chief Judge, Justice Daniel Okungbowa, at the Government House in Benin City.

Addressing the gathering, Governor Okpebholo commended the Legislature for its cooperation, particularly in the passage of the Appropriation Bill and other legislative requests aimed at improving the lives of the people.

He urged the Judiciary to follow suit by ensuring justice is efficiently delivered to foster growth and development in the state.

He emphasised the importance of collaboration among the Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary, noting that such synergy is vital for achieving his administration’s developmental goals.
