Justice Mosunmola Dipeolu, the Chief Judge of Ogun State, urged magistrates across the state to invest consistently in self‑development and to embrace innovation during a recent address to the judiciary.
She highlighted that the demands of the legal profession require continuous learning, noting that magistrates must keep pace with evolving societal expectations and emerging technologies to deliver effective justice.
The chief judge called on magistrates to pursue professional training, attend relevant workshops, and adopt modern tools that can improve court administration and case management.
Ogun State, located in southwestern Nigeria, has a growing industrial and commercial sector, making an efficient and forward‑looking judiciary essential for maintaining the rule of law and supporting economic development.
