Ondo State Government has unveiled mobile courts dedicated to the rapid adjudication of traffic offences across the state, with the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr Kayode Ajulo (SAN), describing the initiative as a corrective rather than punitive measure.
Ajulo, who made this known in a statement, said the mobile courts would operate in partnership with the state Chief Judge, adding that their primary mandate was to deter road users from flouting traffic regulations rather than impose hardship.
He said, “The courts will ensure that every violation is promptly addressed, protecting the gains of our development and safeguarding the lives of our people. The rule of law must ride alongside every vehicle on our beautifully rebuilt roads.”
The commissioner also praised Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for what he described as a sweeping wave of physical transformation across the state, with particular commendation for the beautification of Akure, the state capital.
Ajulo described newly commissioned road intersections across the capital as engineering achievements that compared favourably with infrastructure in leading cities globally, noting that the traffic lights installed at the intersections blended technology with aesthetics.
He said, “Governor Aiyedatiwa is not merely constructing roads; he is sculpting a legacy of excellence, order, and beauty. These world-standard intersections, adorned with tasteful traffic lights that blend technology with artistry, have turned Akure into a capital that inspires pride in every resident and visitor.”
The attorney general called on motorists, motorcyclists and pedestrians to imbibe road discipline, describing it as the highest form of civic responsibility.
He added, “True progress is not measured by concrete alone, but by the collective will of the people to honour the rules that make our shared space safe and serene. Let us match the Governor’s vision with our own commitment to order.”
