Channels Television @channelstvCOMMISSIONING OF JUSTICE OPUTA STATE HIGH COURT COMPLEX Nice one. Thank God for the commissioning. What a pitiful nation we live in. A place where courts are commissioned, yet without true justice. Where justice is manipulated in favour of the powerful against the less powerful ones. May God transform Nigeria. All projects seem uncompleted! Red soil and bushes all over. Politicians need to do more on what will have direct impact on people. Some of the roads are suppose to be local govt projects.
