Director Office Of The Public Defender Visits PAAO
The Director Of The Office Of The Public Defender (OPD) of the Lagos State Government, Barr. Rotimi (Mrs) recently paid a scheduled visit to the office of Pre-Adult Affairs Organization (PAAO). The visit, she said, is part of her effort to familiarize herself with the operations of PAAO on behalf of the Governmemt of Lagos State. She recognized the selfless efforts of the Executive Director of PAAO, Chief Sandra Duru, at helping defenceless Nigerians to claim and assert their rights.
Barrister Rotimi expressed the positive disposition of her office to partner with PAAO in respect of helping the less-privilege to win the justice due to them. She said that unlike other NGOS that request for funds from her office and end up mis-using the finances, PAAO has consistently put-up a most impressive professional culture in respect of working with the OPD.
In response to Mrs Rotimi's words of compliment, the Executive Director of PAAO, Chief Sandra Duru, encouraged the OPD to committedly partner with her organization, saying that it would be a very beneficail step towards helping the less-privileged away from injustice. PAAO, she said, needs more voluntary lawyers to be able to step-up its efforts in the public interest. The mid-day visit ended with the expression of commitment by both organizational heads to work closely.
