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”.
