Lagos CJ Launches Handbook For Court Registrars, Bows Out – TheNigerialawyer

The Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Opeyemi Oke, on Thursday
presented a handbook for the court registrars to ensure effective
service delivery in the state.

The CJ, who presented the handbook at a pull-out ceremony, noted
that the handbook would guide the court registrars in their
duties.

According to Justice Oke, the appointment of legal practitioners
as registrars was to improve service in the judiciary system.

She said, “The handbook developed by the Justice Josephine
Oyefeso-led committee is to guide the court registrars appointed
from among legal practitioners in their daily duties and ensure
that they give effective service to litigants and the people of
Lagos State.

“The court registrars would work as head of the judges’ chamber
and function effectively to improve operations of the court and
plans are on to appoint more legal practitioners as court
registrars at magistrates’ courts.”

There was also a drama sketch by Kiniso Koncepts titled, ‘Just
Service’ which also chronicled the achievements of Justice Oke in
office.

The pull-out ceremony, which was held for the CJ as part of
activities to mark her retirement on June 10, 2019, had high court
judges, magistrates and other stakeholders in attendance.

The ceremony was performed by the police. It featured a parade
and an inspection of ‘the Guards’ by the Chief Judge.

Justice Oke will officially retire on Monday when she turns
65.
