The 2020/2021 Legal Year commences on Monday, the 28th of September, 2020.
The changes were made in view of the present compelling circumstances occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic which led the courts to shut down for some weeks.
Kunle Edun also congratulates the 5 newly sworn in Honorable Judges of the Delta State judiciary and urge them to ensure that they dispense justice in all matters before them no matter the situation and without fear or favour.
He stated that, unfortunately, Delta State still has shortage of Judges as some of the Honorable Judges are still running two courts, thus putting much pressure on them.
Kunle Edun urges the National Judicial Council to consider the peculiar situation of Delta State and direct that the existing vacancies be filled.
This will go a long way to ensure that Justice is made closer to the people and cases are treated with despatch to cater for the fast increasing population and growing business activities in Delta State.
