Lagos State government has launched an online platform on which all its laws could be accessed easily by members of the public particularly – lawyers, potential investors, business owners within the state and whosoever has a need to know or use it.
The state government in a statement signed by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Adeniji Kazeem, said the digital platform was the first of its kind and another eloquent testimony to the tradition of excellence which Lagos was known for.
He said the online platform was in fulfillment of the obligation of the state government to create easy access to the state laws thereby promoting accountability and responsibility, and enable investors to make informed decisions about their investments in the state.
According to Kazeem, “This project is geared towards the commitment of the administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to drive governance and administration of justice in the state through innovation and information technology.”
The commissioner noted that the effectiveness of the digital platform would manifest if utilised by members of the public. He encouraged lawyers and the entire public to visit the site to view the laws and make their purchases.
He finally added that the online platform would enable people to search, view and download the laws of the state anywhere in the world by just the click of a button.
