Ondo Govt Approves Creation Of Department Of Legal Services In Ministries, Departments And Agencies.

The Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN
has approved the establishment of Department of Legal Services in
all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA) in Ondo State.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by Adenike Akinbosade,
the personal assistant to the Hon. Attorney General and
Commissioner for Justice, Ondo state.

The Department of Legal Services is in line with the REDEEMED
AGENDA of Governor Akeredolu SAN Government which emphasizes
EFFICIENT SERVICE DELIVERY AND POLICY IMPLEMENTATION.

The Department of Legal services established by Ondo State
Government in MDAs is under the direct supervision of the
Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Sir Charles
Titiloye, TheNigerialawyer, gathered.

According to the statement, the Departments of Legal Services
are to ensure that the MDAs comply with provisions of law and
request regularly from the office of the Attorney General, legal
advice in respect of government policies during implementation.

This will reduce unnecessary litigations and delay in filing of
Court processes and defence of litigation against the Government.
Also, it will, in the long term, put an end to unnecessary
liability incurred by Government through grants by Courts of
monetary claims against the Government.

This ultimately will reduce judgment debts against Government
and the concomitant reduction of cost of governance, thus freeing
up state funds for implementation of laudable projects beneficial
to the people of Ondo State.

Consequent upon the foregoing, the Hon. Attorney General and
Commissioner for Justice Ondo State, Sir Charles Titiloye has
deployed nine (9) Directors from the Ministry of Justice for the
commencement of Department of Legal Services in the MDAs.
