It is an unarguable fact that the expansion of Industrial court territory would further improve access to justice and promote better industrial harmony in the state and the country at large.

 

The era of Counsel going to neighbouring Akure-Ondo state for sittings has been forever defeated thereby eradicating the risk of traveling from one state to another.
