Kwara State Governor and Chairman of Nigeria's Governors Forum (NGF), Alhaji AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has urged the six newly sworn-in Justices of the Kwara State High Court to uphold "diligence, impartiality, and the overriding interest of the community and national security" in their judicial duties.

The inauguration of Justices Ibijoke Olabisi Olawoyin, Fatimah Funsho Abdulrasaq, Oluwatosin Adenike Adeniyi, Yusuf Diko Adebayo, Olalekan Osuolale Ajayi, and Muritala Folohunsho took place over the weekend at Government House in Ilorin.

Governor AbdulRazaq congratulated the appointees, stating his confidence in their commitment to justice and fairness. He highlighted the event as a historic milestone for Kwara, noting it marked the first time six High Court judges were sworn in simultaneously in the state.

"This also makes a total of eleven High Court Judges, that I have administered their oath of office within five years in office", he said.

Governor AbdulRazaq stated, "I congratulate the newly appointed Judges and their families. I also celebrate your hard work, and other noble qualities that brought you here.

"Today, you have been entrusted with the immense responsibility of upholding justice, and ensuring that the rights of every citizen are protected.

"As you take on this noble task, remember that your decisions will shape the lives of individuals and the fabric of our society.

"Let me remind you of the remarkable words of Usman Dan Fodio, who said that 'a kingdom can endure unbelief, but it cannot endure with injustice."

The Governor said he will continue to support the Judiciary, recalling how the administration has renovated and remodelled several courts within the State.
