Lagos state Chief Judge, Justice Opeyemi Oke On Monday,

their is light, the court rooms will be cool for them to work
in.”

a cleaner energy source that has no emissions”, she noted.
In a brief remark, the Attorney General, Kazeem said that the
state government is committed to ensuring effective justice
delivery system in the state.
