The Ondo State Government will on Monday 2nd of August 2021 host the two newly elevated Justices of Court of Appeal Nigeria, Hon. Justices Ademola Bola and Olabode Adegbehingbe respectively and their families to a state dinner.
The two judges until their elevation had served in Ondo State Judiciary as High Court Judges where they both excelled in character and knowledge. While Justice Ademola Bola joined the service of the State Judiciary in 1993, his lordship Olabode Adegbehingbe joined in 2002 both after successful years in private practice as lawyers.
Government is convinced the elevation of the two lordships is an evidence of merit and a recognition of Industry and Excellence. It is not just an honour to their families but also to Ondo state in particular.
