The Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Ondo State, Kayode Ajulo SAN, has revealed the appointment of a total of 273 advisers to assist him in his duties.
Ajulo emphasized that these advisers would serve as aides, collaborating closely with him to enhance the provision of ethical legal services within the state.
In a statement issued, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria delineated the advisers into two categories: honorary and technical advisers.
Having been appointed by Governor Aiyedatiwa, the Commissioner for Justice noted that all appointed aides are legal professionals, including junior practitioners.
He underscored that their primary responsibility will be to provide diverse support to him, offering a plethora of ideas while effectively serving the government and people of Ondo State.
“I have graciously appointed all the 273 lawyers, dividing them into two categories: honorary advisers and technical advisers, to the Honourable Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice of Ondo State.”
Ajulo, who maintained that the terms of engagement for the advisers are “remarkably innovative,” stressed that the advisers will enhance excellence.
He said the names of the appointees will be revealed soon, noting that they are lawyers who have “distinguished themselves” in law practice, government, academia, and social work, among others.
“They will provide invaluable guidance to reinforce the vision of the Office of the Attorney-General of Ondo State to be the best public law office in Nigeria.”
He, however, listed his eight-point agenda to include access to justice, uniform law enforcement, justice sector reform, obedience to court order, law officer welfare, adherence to executive order and rule of law, as well as protection of women, children, and persons with disabilities.
