The governor congratulated the state’s out-going Chief Judge, Kate Abiri, for the construction and completion of the re-modelled State High Court complex in Yenagoa.
Wednesday inaugurated the state’s first electronic court filing system, to quicken the process of litigation and administration of justice.
He said that the electronic filing of documents and work-based access to court materials had become common place in many developed jurisdictions around the world. The governor said it was fitting that the re-modelled court complex was named after Justice Ungbuku, describing the gesture as a mark of honour to the late jurist who served the state meritoriously.
“This edifice is named after late Justice Ungbuku. I see this as an act of remembrance and honour to those who have served our state. Justice Ungbuku is actually one of our heroes past in the judiciary of Bayelsa State,” he said. Ms Abiri, who also unveiled the practice direction at the event, explained that re-modelling of the complex, which originally had two court halls and 24 offices, was concluded within six months, and equipped with additional two new court halls and 12 offices.
