He said the move was to enhance access to justice and stimulate local development.
Speaking at the event, Justice Alogba also emphasised that the establishment of the court marked a milestone in bringing justice closer to the grassroots, allowing residents easier access to legal remedies and dispute resolution.
He noted that the presence of a functional judicial facility would not only serve the legal needs of the people but also act as a catalyst for economic growth and investor confidence in the area.
“Access to justice is fundamental for any thriving society. With this court now operational, litigants will no longer need to travel long distances to seek justice.
“This development will also encourage business growth, as the rule of law is a key enabler of investment,” said the Chief Judge.
Justice Alogba also called on the state government to rehabilitate the Orugbo Road, which he described as crucial to sustaining the benefits of the new court.
He emphasised that improved road infrastructure would facilitate easier movement for court users and enhance the general well-being of residents.
In his remarks, the community leader of Orugbo Iddo, Oba Adewale M. Abdul (Olofin Ajaye), expressed gratitude to the Chief Judge and the Lagos State Government.
He noted that the establishment of the court fulfilled a major promise he made upon his ascension to the throne six years ago.
“This is a dream come true for our community,” Oba Abdul said.
“We are grateful for this landmark achievement which will ensure peace, order, and progress. It is a testament to the government’s commitment to inclusive development.”
Residents of Orugbo and surrounding areas turned out in their numbers to witness the ceremony, marking what many called a “new dawn” in local governance, justice, and development.
The new court is expected to begin full operations in the coming weeks.
