The Chairman, House Committee on Judiciary, Hon Samuel Ogeh gave this assurance when he led members of his committee on an oversight to the Ministry of Justice.
While at the ministry, the committee met with the Chief Judge, Justice Adanma Iyayi-Lamikanra.
Ogeh said “The legislature and any other arm of government is to ensure good governance in the state, and we would ensure that we produce that conducive atmosphere for the two arms of government to work well. We don’t intend having any frosty relationship with the judiciary”.
According to Ogeh, the visit was to familiarize the committee with the Chief Judge so as to foster a healthy working relationship.
Other members of the committee include Hon Benebo Anabraba and Hon Enemi George.
