Lagos Judiciary Urges Workforce to Embrace Excellence, Rewards Outstanding Staff at End-of-Year Party
The Lagos State Judiciary has charged its workforce to remain committed to excellence, discipline and diligence as the institution prepares for the challenges of the New Year.
The charge was given during the Judiciary’s end-of-year party held in Lagos, where judicial officers and staff converged to reflect on the year’s achievements and celebrate outstanding service across various departments.
Speaking at the event, the Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Kazeem Olanrewaju Alogba, commended judges, magistrates and non-judicial staff for their dedication to duty despite the pressures associated with justice delivery in a fast-growing мегacity like Lagos.
He urged workers to see the New Year as an opportunity to raise professional standards, strengthen integrity and improve service delivery to court users.
Justice Alogba stressed that the success of the judiciary depends largely on teamwork, commitment and the willingness of every staff member to uphold the core values of fairness, efficiency and accountability.
As part of the celebration, the Judiciary presented Awards of Excellence to deserving staff in recognition of their hard work, dedication and outstanding contributions to the system.
One of the award recipients was Mr. Adejugbagbe Charleston, Personal Assistant to the Chief Judge, who was honoured with an Award of Excellence in Data Processing.
The award citation recognised his exceptional commitment, technical competence and unwavering dedication in supporting the Chief Judge through efficient data management and administrative coordination within the Lagos State Judiciary.
The Chief Judge noted that recognising excellence among staff was deliberate, as it serves as motivation and reinforces a culture of merit within the judiciary.
The event featured goodwill messages, music and moments of camaraderie, providing an opportunity for staff to unwind after a demanding year, while renewing their collective resolve to support the administration of justice in Lagos State in the coming year.
