Lawal said his administration had also invested in remodelling, constructing and rehabilitating courts across the state, including four Small Claims Courts, the Magistrate Court in Samaru, the State High Court and 10 Sharia Courts. He said about 90 per cent of the projects had been completed.
The governor also disclosed that his administration had cleared the backlog of statutory allowances owed to judicial officers for 2022 and 2023, spending more than ₦600 million on accommodation, wardrobe, outfit, medical and furniture allowances.
