Wike stated this at the inauguration of the construction of the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal Complex, in Abuja.

He said that President Tinubu’s approval for the construction of the Appeal Court Complex, accommodation for judges and justices and retirement homes was a testament to the importance attached to the judiciary.
