During a recent public lecture in Abeokuta commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Ogun State Judiciary, Chief Judge Justice Mosunmola Dipeolu emphasized the importance of integrity among judges. She warned against corrupt practices that could undermine public trust in Nigeria's justice system. The anniversary event also highlighted the significant growth in Ogun State's judicial structure and reform initiatives since its establishment in 1976.

Justice Dipeolu's remarks come at a crucial time as the judicial system faces heightened scrutiny regarding its transparency and accountability. She called on judges to maintain high ethical standards and resist any outside influences, particularly from politicians who might seek to manipulate the judicial process for their gain. The Chief Judge's address reflects a growing concern about corruption within Nigeria's legal institutions and the need for reforms to bolster public confidence in the judiciary.

The anniversary celebrations have included various activities, such as a novelty football match between judiciary workers and members of the Nigerian Bar Association, indicating a spirit of camaraderie among legal professionals. This milestone offers an opportunity for reflection on the past achievements of Ogun State's judiciary while addressing the ongoing challenges it faces, particularly as Nigeria approaches the next general elections in 2027.
