The Bomadi High Court has been revived after years of abandonment following the comprehensive upgrade of the court complex and construction of a new Judges’ Quarters by the administration of Hon. Dagidi Rawlings Andaye.
The new Judge of the Bomadi High Court, Hon. Justice Angonumuere Mary Gesikeme Akebofah, has assumed duties and commended the Chairman of Bomadi Local Government Council, Hon. Andaye, for the projects.
Justice Akebofah gave the commendation during a courtesy visit to the council boss, in company of members of the Ijaw Lawyers Association of Nigeria, Delta State Chapter.
She expressed satisfaction with the upgraded facilities, noting that the renovated court complex and residential accommodation would provide a more conducive environment for effective administration of justice.
The Judge commended Andaye for prioritising judicial welfare and urged other local government chairmen to emulate the initiative in creating an enabling environment for the judiciary to function efficiently.
Chairman of the Ijaw Lawyers Association of Nigeria, Delta State Chapter, Barr. Godswill Ebiowei Timiyou, also lauded Andaye’s commitment to judicial development. Barr. David Ekereokosu and other members of the association similarly welcomed the renewed attention to judicial infrastructure in Bomadi.
The facilities, which include the renovated court complex, Judges’ Quarters, parking areas and security houses, were commissioned by the Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori
Hon. Andaye thanked the new Judge and the lawyers for the visit, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to purposeful development and institutional strengthening.
He noted that the High Court was abandoned for years due to poor infrastructure, but expressed gratitude that his administration had, within its first year in office, made the structure habitable and improved access to justice.
