The Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Ondo State, Kayode Ajulo SAN, has disclosed that he has appointed no fewer than 273 advisers.
Ajulo stated that the advisers will work closely with him as aides in order to enhance what he described as ethical legal services to the state.
In a statement, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria stated that the appointed aides were categorised as honorary and technical advisers.
The Commissioner for Justice, who was recently appointed by Governor Aiyedatiwa, added that aides are all lawyers, including junior legal practitioners.
According to him, part of their task will be to lend their support to him through a multitude of ideas while serving the government and people of the state.
“I have graciously appointed all the 273 lawyers, dividing them into two categories: honorary advisers and technical advisers, to the Honourable Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice of Ondo State.”
Ajulo, who maintained that the terms of engagement for the advisers are “remarkably innovative,” stressed that the advisers will enhance excellence.
He said the names of the appointees will be revealed soon, noting that they are lawyers who have “distinguished themselves” in law practice, government, academia, and social work, among others.
“They will provide invaluable guidance to reinforce the vision of the Office of the Attorney-General of Ondo State to be the best public law office in Nigeria.”
He, however, listed his eight-point agenda to include access to justice, uniform law enforcement, justice sector reform, obedience to court order, law officer welfare, adherence to executive order and rule of law, as well as protection of women, children, and persons with disabilities.
