…promises support for planned NJI zonal headquarter in Bayelsa
The Governor of Bayelsa State, Sen. Douye Diri, today received the Nigerian House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary in his office in Yenagoa.
The committee led by Hon. Oluwole Oke, used the opportunity of the visit to inform the governor of the plan in place to situate the National Judicial Institute (NJI) South South Zonal headquarters in Bayelsa State.
The governor after receiving the committee, promised to support the project to reality, as it will compliment the South South Law School already situated in the state.
“We receive you formally to the most peaceful state in Nigeria, Bayelsa State.
We all know that our problem in Nigeria is multi-faceted, people will always first point to the executives, because the executives are the ones doing the day-to-day implementation. But it doesn’t end there, the Judiciary also has its challenges, and I am sure that you will truly look into those challenges and proffer solutions to those challenges we already know and identify in the Judiciary.
Thank you for the NJI you mentioned that it is to be sited here in Bayelsa, and since we have the South-South Law School here in Yenagoa, this will complement a school like that.
I can assure you that the State Government will support bringing the NJI to Yenagoa” the governor said.
