Chief Judge (CJ) of Lagos State, Justice Kazeem Alogba, has provided electronic means of payment alongside cash from the public.
The CJ, in a statement, yesterday, by the Acting Chief Registrar, Mr. Tajudeen Elias, disclosed that the state’s judiciary holds tenaciously to the Administration of Justice and the Rule of Law generally.
She advised court users to deploy the existing electronic platforms for payments while awaiting the new development.
He said that business activities at the various court registries in Lagos were grounded, as court officials declined to receive old Naira bills from litigants and lawyers, on the ground that their official bank was no longer accepting it as legal tender.
Account officials at the court registry in Ikeja, said under the condition of anonymity that attempts to pay in old bills they collected into the government account were futile.
