Osun State Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola on Wednesday administered the oath of office on members of the State Judicial Service Commission, reminding them that they have taken oaths to subscribe to the ideals of justice and progress which the State espouses.


In what appears like another landmark in the history of Nollywood industry. Honorable Rotimi Makinde a one time actor who became the first to be so elected as a member of the house of Representatives was today again appointed to serve as a member of osun state judicial service Commission,an appointment he got on merit and based on integrity and therefore created another milestone in the entertainment industry.

Governor Aregbesola who spoke at the State exco chamber, the appointees should also note that they have taken an oath of secrecy which means that in the discharge of their duties they will come across information that must be guarded jealously in the overall interest of the State.


He explained that often some oaths are taken not in the full consciousness of its impact, adding that this cannot be more felt than in the process of decision making when policies are being considered and the people who will take it do not feel confident that what they say will be protected.

He added that what is likely to obtain is incomplete contribution of people contributing out of fear, adding that the people who formulated the oath had the reason for it. They wanted a protection of not only the citizens but public servants.

Governor Aregbesola affirmed that: “I hope in the course of taking policy decisions, you will keep the confidentiality of what has been brought to your knowledge. It is very important for the successful administration of the public service.

While thanking the new appointees for accepting to serve Osun State, Governor Aregbesola wished them the best in the very challenging responsibility that they have signed up to undertake.

While reminding everyone that the Judiciary serves as the last sanctuary both during democratic rules and other forms of government, Governor Aregbesola said the new members must ensure that they make the judiciary respond to these tasks.
