I am honoured to extend my warmest greetings to the Nigerian Bar Association, Aba Branch (Integrity Bar), as you mark your 2025 Law Week.
Your chosen theme—“The Strength of the Judiciary: People’s Confidence — Glory Foretold or Disaster Waiting to Happen”—resonates deeply with the challenges and expectations that face our legal system today.
I commend your courage in confronting this important discourse, which speaks to the very heart of justice, accountability, and democratic integrity.
As a member of the legal community, I believe that the strength of our judiciary rests not only in constitutional authority but also in the continued confidence of the people we serve.
This Law Week is a timely opportunity for all of us to reflect, engage, and recommit to the values that sustain our profession and our nation.
I salute the Integrity Bar for consistently upholding the highest ideals of legal practice, and I wish you an enlightening and impactful Law Week.
