At the unveiling, the Governor’s wife assured that the administration of Governor Otti will not relent in fulfilling its campaign promises to Abians.
Mrs. Otti said that the digital workstation built by the Ministry of Justice in conjunction with law pavilion is a precursor to creating a good working environment for all civil servants in the ministries, departments and agencies by Governor Alex Otti-led administration in the state.
She lauded the ministry’s efforts so far put in place to ensure that the administration of justice in the state now is digitally based in its scope of jurisdiction instead of the former trend of running it in an analogue form.

Meanwhile, the attorney general of the state and commissioner for justice, Mr. Ikechukwu Uwanna, said that they are motivated by the passion and drive of Governor Alex Otti, to put Abia on the front burner.
According to the Commissioner, “When we came on board, we discovered that all our documents are processed outside and this exposes sensitive documents to the wrong people, hence the digitalisation of all the departments to enable legal practitioners to do their work with ease.
This is a great leap for us because apart from Lagos state, Abia is the second state in the country to digitalise its laws and adjudications” he said.
Also speaking, the director, Legal Services of the ministry, Barr. Ajike Uwaoma expressed the ministry’s gratitude to Governor Otti for assisting them in actualizing the project.
According to her, “this digital facility is a one-stop workstation where Abia legal practitioners just work in and with a click on a button get all they need to aid them in their legal services and delivery” she said.
