The Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Kazeem Alogba, has promised increased use of information and communications technology tools in the administration of justice in the state.

Alogba said he would ensure a judiciary compliant with international best practices.

He spoke on Wednesday during his swearing-in as the 17th Chief Judge of Lagos State, a statement said.

Alogba, who had been presiding over the affairs of the state judiciary in acting capacity since June 13, was confirmed on Tuesday as substantive chief judge by the Lagos State House of Assembly following ratification by the National Judicial Council.

He was sworn in at a ceremony attended by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his executive council, while the Speaker, Mudashir Obasa, led members of the legislative arm to the programme.

The chief judge said his tenure would witness the transformation of the judiciary.

“In performing my duties, I shall key into the vision of the Governor Sanwo-Olu administration in ensuring that we have a smart judiciary by providing first class judicial services in line with international best practices.

“We will be deploying more tools of information and communications technology in the provision of our services. In-video conferencing of court proceedings has already started and we will be doing more in this area,” he added.

Sanwo-Olu said his government would strengthen the relationship between the executive and the judiciary without eroding impartiality and independence of the courts.

He pledged to support the judiciary to provide the needs of judicial officers and discourage people from recoursing to self-help.
