Ondo State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Kayode Ajulo says the state will establish mobile courts to prosecute road traffic offences.

In a statement on Friday, Mr Ajulo said the initiative aims to speed up the adjudication of traffic offences in the state.

The attorney general said the mobile courts, to be constituted by the chief judge, were not to be an instrument of punishment but of correction and deterrence.

“The courts will ensure that every violation is promptly addressed, protecting the gains of our development and safeguarding the lives of our people.

”The rule of law must ride alongside every vehicle on our beautifully rebuilt roads,” he said.

Mr Ajulo extolled Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for the remarkable wave of physical development sweeping across the state.

He said the governor had paid special attention to beautifying Akure, the state capital.

The attorney general described the newly unveiled ultra-modern road intersections across the state capital as “masterpieces of engineering that now rival the finest cities of the world.”

He also commended the functionality and aesthetics of the traffic lights installed on highways in the state capital.

According to him, modern traffic lights do far more than regulate traffic; they also stand as luminous symbols of a rising state prepared for the future.

The commissioner said Mr Aiyedatiwa was not merely constructing roads but was sculpting a legacy of excellence, order, and beauty.

“These world-standard intersections, adorned with tasteful traffic lights that blend technology with artistry, have turned Akure into a capital that inspires pride in every resident and visitor.

”This is development with soul—where infrastructure meets elegance and safety marries sophistication,” he said.

‎The commissioner called on all road users—drivers, riders, and pedestrians—to embrace discipline as the highest form of patriotism.

‎“True progress is not measured by concrete alone, but by the collective will of the people to honour the rules that make our shared space safe and serene.

”Let us match the governor’s vision with our own commitment to order,” he said.
