The Ekiti State Ministry of Justice will commence the translation of the law empowering the setting up of the security apparatus, Amotekun, into the Yoruba language following a directive by the state governor, Kayode Fayemi.

The ministry is also to translate other laws of the state into the local language.

The document, known as the Ekiti State Security Network Agency law, was read the third time at the State House of Assembly on Friday and it is now awaiting the governor’s signature.

The Commissioner for Justice, Olawale Fapohunda, on Wednesday in Ado Ekiti said the governor’s directive was to ensure that the populace could understand the law in their local language.

He said the Amotekun law would be translated as soon as the governor signed it into law.

“Ekiti State Security Network Agency Bill affects the daily lives of the people of Ekiti State especially those in our rural communities, it therefore follows that this is one legislation that all of our people need to understand,” he said.

“In furtherance of the commitment of the Fayemi istration to its citizens’ active participation in governance, Mr Governor has today approved the translation of Laws of Ekiti State into Yoruba Language.

“Given the volumes of the Laws of Ekiti State, the translation will be implemented in phases. The first phase will include laws that have direct impact on the daily reality of our people.”

Other legislation
Other laws that will be translated immediately, according to Mr Fapohunda, include, Sustainable Development Goals Law, Ekiti State, 2019; Ekiti State Property Protection (Anti- Land Grabbing ) Law 2019; Ekiti State Gender Based Violence (Prohibition ) Law 2019, and Ekiti State (Transition) Law, 2019.

He said the state government will work with qualified academics at the Ekiti State University to carry out the task.

Mr Fapohunda also stated that some of the policy documents of the Ministry of Justice like the Ekiti State Charter for Victims of Crime; Directive on Non-discontinuance of Criminal Matters, Additional Measures in Aid of Prosecution of Sexual Violence will also be translated into Yoruba language.

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Justice and Solicitor-General Ekiti State, Lawrence Ojo, while commenting on the development said, “with this, Ekiti State Ministry of Justice will be recording another first in Nigeria.”

Mr Ojo said there had been talks over the years especially among lawyers on the need to translate laws into local Nigerian languages “but little efforts had been made in this regard”.

Although it was agreed among the six South-west states that the Amotekun bill would be ed by their state assemblies simultaneously, with last week Friday set as the deadline, some states have only started considering the bill.

One day, this nation will be great again.
I'm seeing Confederated Nigeria...
I know of one major advantage; competitiveness among the states, thereby, enforcing speedy growth.
On the other side, the major con is In the fact that Aristocratic style of government will be built in so many states of the nation (Africans way) again and thereby, draw them 106 years back...





Confederal System of government, Good or Bad?

As long as it is in both English and Yoruba languages,
It is a good and welcome development.

No shakings!
Amotekun is here to stay!!


Amotekians, be glad and wise.
Amotekalization is here.
Amotekites get ready for the job ahead and take every religion along.
No stigmatization of other tribes in the country.
With all these,
Amoteks is here to stay.

Thanks.

Lol
You are mouthed ma!
Now, this is funny!

Let each region layer up their security.

Ekiti seems to be making some noticeable improvement since this present government took over. Especially in the sociological aspects of the state. There has been some obvious humanitarian development like gender rights promotion and the introduction of thr sex offenders .

There has been more awareness on environmental cleanliness, anti-open defecation and improved interest in youth activities by the government.

I give kudos to the fayemi government for this.


Translating laws to local dialect is also sign of a government that cares.


But a lot is still left to be desired, the infrastructural decay that has plagued several states in the country has also affected Ekiti and the concern of Fayemi istration is not on par.

A lot of interstate roads in Ekiti are nothing to write home about for example.

Ok

I know Akeredolu will lag behind in implementation of Amotekun. He only makes mouth. Despite being the chairman, he's always come second in taking steps. He'd even politicize recruitment into amotekun with his sales of form

Yoruba Muslims

Guy,why is it that you don't contribute to issues intelligently on this forum?
I think you always wait in a corner,for Yoruba news,just so that you can shout Yoruba women, afonja,Yoruba Muslim etc
Dem take Yoruba matter swear for you ni?

From good authority, Lagos will be converting/modifying Lagos Neighborhood watch into Amotekun law by next week. Yoruba are truly a pacesetter.

kiss the truth!

Even in Greek and Hebrew languages it did not change the fact that when you wake up and see the WASTE beating war drums, simply go back to your bed, this time around cover yourself well with blanket and have a sound sleep.
Before you quote, our fathers fought your fathers and the NOUGHT until you vuum out to the world for help.
