Establishment of Multi door courts across Ogun State will continue to ensure speedy dispensation of Justice, Low cost of Dispute resolution, flexibility in the mode of resolution of disputes and most especially the lack of stress to the litigants.

The Chief Judge of Ogun State, Hon. Justice Mosunmola Dipeolu made this known while delivering her address at the Commissioning of the Multi door Court house, at the Ota High court, Ota.

The Multi door Courts which are in operation in Abeokuta, Ijebu-Ode, and Sagamu Judicial divisions, add to its feather with the commissioning of Ota Multi door Court House.

Justice Dipeolu explained that, the regular courts have to a large extent been unable to dispense speedy justice with litigants having to face long adjournments caused mainly by the failures inherent in the system which are generally man made.

Justice Sonia Akinbiyi for donating the Commissioned Ota Multi door Court house, which according to her, will further boost speedy dispensation of Justice in the Ota Judicial division, which is one of the Seven point repositioning  agenda of this administration.

Noimot Salako-Oyedele who officially commissioned the edifice on behalf of the Ogun state government, reiterated that the bill signed by the Governor of the State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, establishing the Ogun Multi door Court House into law on August 27, 2020, will assist to improve operations of the Alternative dispute resolution centres (ADR) across the State.
