‘YOUR LAW WEEK THEME VERY APT,’ SAFIYA BALARABE TELLS NBA ILE-IFE

GOODWILL MESSAGE FROM SAFIYA BALARABE TO THE NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION, ILE-IFE BRANCH ON HER 2022 LAW WEEK

“The highly respected Chairman, Executives and Members of the great Ile-Ife branch, I extend my unalloyed regards to you on the occasion of your annual law week taking place between 30th of May to 1st of June,2022.

The chosen theme: ‘Exploring the Law as a Catalyst towards a truly Federal State’ is very apt, especially as a country that practices a federal system of government.

We have however noticed overtime that the federal system has been bastardized by politicians; turning same on its head with the resultant effect being mismanagement and embezzlement of resources across the different levels of government, lack of accountability from political leaders amongst others.

Flowing from the above, I strongly believe that with the great personalities who will be speaking on the theme, like the revered Chairman of the Body of Benchers cum a respected leader, Chief Wole Olanipekun SAN as the Guest Speaker and Prof. Abiola Sanni SAN as a keynote speaker, the theme and all topics on your Law Week program shall be well discussed and possible solutions proffered.

Once again, I wish you a wonderful Law Week celebration.

God bless you”.

Signed:
Safiya Balarabe
Current Treasurer, NBA Women Forum and Candidate for the position of NBA Treasurer 2022-2024.

ISAAC OMUTA OGBAH EXTENDS HIS GOODWILL MESSAGE TO NBA ILE-IFE ON HER 2022 LAW WEEK

Nigeria as a Nation became a Federal state in 1954. However, can we say we are truly a Federal State? What constitutes a Federal State? What is the role of the Law in achieving a truly Federal State. I believe these and many more are the highlights of the topic of discuss Exploring the Law as a Catalyst Towards a Truly Federal State as the members of NBA Ile-Ife Bar celebrate their Law Week.

I felicitate with the Executives and Members of the NBA Ile-Ife Bar on the occasion of their Law Week and wish them a happy deliberation.

AMANDA ASAGBA COMMENDS NBA ILE-IFE BRANCH ON LAW WEEK

I rejoice with the Chairperson and Members of the Nigerian Bar Association, Ile Ife Branch on your 2022 Law Week.

The theme of your Law Week, “Exploring the Law as a Catalyst towards a truly Federal State” is very insightful and thought-provoking, especially in this season when centrifugal forces are tugging at the soul of the nation.

I am confident that resolutions from this epoch-making event will contribute immensely in forging the much-needed unity in our country. Ile-Ife, “The Source” remains a great bastion of modern civilization and knowledge that we are all proud of.

I wish you every success during the Law Week and beyond.

AMANDA ASAGBA HAILS NBA KADUNA BRANCH ON LAW WEEK

I felicitate with the Branch Chairman, Executive Committee, Planning Committee, Bar Leaders and all members of Kaduna Branch on your 2022 Law Week holding from 27th to 31st May, 2022.

I find the theme of the Law Week, “Expanding the Frontiers of Legal Practice” most apposite in an era when technology has completely disrupted the legal profession.

There is no gainsaying that lawyers who are able to tap into the emerging new trends and deepen their expertise are bound to be much-sought-after in the new era.

I urge you all to utilize the opportunities thrown up by the Law Week to enrich your knowledge in new areas of law and adequately prepare yourselves for the brave new world of law practice.

Congratulations!

TAIDI EXTOLS NBA KADUNA, ILE-IFE ON LAW WEEK

GOODWILL MESSAGE TO CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION ILE IFE BRANCH ON HER 2022 LAW WEEK WITH THE THEME: EXPLORING THE LAW AS A CATALYST TOWARDS A TRULY FEDERAL STATE”

I felicitate with the Chairperson and Members of Ile Ife Branch of the Nigerian Bar Association on her 2022 Law Week.

The programme is focusing on the very important and very controversial aspect of our existence as a nation fondly referred to as ‘Federation,’ when some say we actually practice a military style unitary system where no matter the level of oppression you are expected to fall in line.
This system is the bane of our development as it promotes over dependence on revenue from the centre and leaves unaccountable streams of revenue to be exploited for personal use.

It is my firm conviction that we can get it right by engagements such as this and by continuing the sort of discourse aimed at fashioning a truly federal state where equity and justice prevail.

I am delighted that this discussion is holding at the ‘source’ of the great O’dua heritage and hope the outcome will be the foundation of a true federation.

GOODWILL MESSAGE TO NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION KADUNA BRANCH ON HER 2022 LAW WEEK

I felicitate with the Chairman, Law Week Organising Committee and Members of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Kaduna Branch on the occasion of the 2022 Law Week on the theme: “Expanding the Frontiers of Legal Practice”.

At independence, legal practice in the Nigerian parlance connotes litigation. However, overtime, other areas of practice of law evolved in response to the emerging dynamics of society.

In the 21st century there abound relatively new areas that are either dominated by expatriates who have no right of audience under our law or where we have very few members with expertise to shine in those areas.

There is therefore the need to equip ourselves with the requisite knowledge on diverse and emerging areas of law so that we put a permanent wedge on incursion from foreigners under whatever guise or shade.

This law week affords us the platform to interrogate the challenges bedevelling our ability to diversify into emerging practice areas and stem the tide of pervasive external incursion into our legal space. I therefore challenge participants to take advantage of this platform to discover solutions for our overall benefit.

I wish distinguished participants a rewarding experience and fruitful outcome.

Jonathan Gunu Taidi, Esq.
