Forty-nine brand-new duplexes now belong to judges in Ogun State, handed over by Governor Dapo Abiodun as part of a welfare push for the state's judiciary. The homes sit within the President Muhammadu Buhari Estate along Kobape Road in Abeokuta, and Abiodun framed the allocation as a direct fulfilment of his administration's promises to the bench.
The governor also used the occasion to swear in five new judges, expanding the ranks of the Ogun State judiciary at the same event.
Whether this signals a broader pattern of investment in judicial infrastructure across Nigeria's states remains to be seen, but for now, Ogun's judges are headed home to new addresses.
