He said this would reduce unemployment among the youths, restiveness among young people and other social vices in the society.

He commended Dr. Maduka for his continuous support to the development of the State, urging him not to rest in his oars.

The Chief Judge  of the State, Justice Ijem Onwuamegbu, who described the complex as   magnificent  edifice,  said they were more than eager   to take over  the  High Court for the use of the people to ensure  quick dispensation of justice  for the ordinary man  in the State.

According to her “we immensely want to thank and  appreciate the donor, Dr. Godwin Maduka, while I use this medium to call on other privileged sons and daughters of the state to emulate him in building such human oriented projects for the  development of our dear state and  Nigeria at large”. 

Dr Maduka, while handing over the High court to Anambra state Judiciary said  ” today will remain memorable in my  life to see this dream come true”. 

He stressed that it has  been his desire to put in place in his community  those things that  made the white people look down on the Africans.

He said one of  such things included justice to the common man even as he  recalled   how his people used to travel as far as Ekwulobia, Onitsha and  even Awka in search of justice.

Most times, he said, when  the poor and the  down trodden calculated  the  cost implications of seeking for justice, they naturally leave their fate in the hands of God. 

He recalled that sometimes in 2010,  he also built and  handed over a Magistrate court to the State 

The US based medical doctor said the construction of the judiciary building in his community was to bring justice nearer to the people.

Also present at the occasion were the  member representing  Orumba South  Constituency in Anambra  State House of Assembly and about 14 traditional rulers from both Orumba North and South Local Government Areas.

The Court  described as one of    the bests in Nigeria with judge’s residence are the  first of its kind to be donated by an individual in Nigeria.

Maduka had equally in the past build Police Station and Civil Defence office in his community and other projects he has provided his people.
