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.
