2022 LAW WEEK: GOODWILL MESSAGE BY SAFIYA BALARABE, TREASURER NBA WOMEN FORUM TO THE YENAGOA BRANCH OF THE NBA

The Law Week Celebration of Yenagoa Branch of the NBA is billed for 25th to 29th of May, 2022 with the theme: “Building a Stronger Judiciary”.

Safiya Balarabe, the Treasurer of the NBA Women Forum has sent in a goodwill message ahead of the event reproduced as follows:

“The Chairman, Executive and branch members of the great Yenagoa Branch,

It is in anticipation of your 2022 annual Law Week celebration themed ‘Building a Stronger Judiciary’, that I wish to convey my wishes and regards to you.

Being a staunch proponent of total judicial Independence, your Law Week is one I look forward to. I am excited that we will have yet another opportunity to drive home this all important message of judicial independence, which is the most important factor in ensuring a strong judiciary in Nigeria. The judiciary they say is the last hope of the common man, but what hope is there for anyone if it cannot even carry itself?

In the same vein, I also look forward to the paper presentation with the topic: “Nullification of Executive Order 10 and its implication in the quest for Judicial Financial Autonomy”.

I wish you a great Law Week ahead, and may the deliberations therein be put into action for the betterment of your Branch, our noble association and the country at large.

Thank you”.

Signed:

Safiya Balarabe
