President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to judicial independence and institutional reforms with the commissioning of a newly completed 10-unit Court of Appeal Judges’ Quarters in Katampe District, Abuja.
Speaking through the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), Tinubu described the project as a strategic investment in democratic governance and the rule of law.
He emphasized that judicial welfare and infrastructure are essential to strengthening independence, efficiency, and service delivery.
“This event is more than the unveiling of physical infrastructure; it is a tangible demonstration of the Federal Government’s enduring commitment to the welfare, independence, efficiency and dignity of the judiciary,” Tinubu stated.
The President disclosed that additional land has been earmarked for future judicial projects, including facilities for the National Industrial Court, the Code of Conduct Bureau, the Federal High Court, and the FCT High Court, noting that the area could soon be known as “Judiciary Boulevard.”
Tinubu commended FCT Minister Nyesom Wike for executing the project efficiently and urged state governments to emulate the Federal Government by investing in judicial infrastructure.
Wike, in his remarks, stressed that governors must take responsibility for federal judicial institutions within their states, citing his own experience in Rivers State where he facilitated the establishment of a National Industrial Court division.
President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, hailed the project as a milestone, noting that secure housing enhances judicial independence and protects officers from undue influence.
The estate, built by Details to Dots Development Nigeria Limited, comprises 10 fully furnished five-bedroom duplexes with boys’ quarters, an event centre, recreational facilities, paved roads, water and electricity systems, and a secured gatehouse.
The commissioning follows the recent inauguration of the new Court of Appeal complex in Abuja, underscoring Tinubu’s broader governance reforms through sustained investment in judicial infrastructure.
