I extend my warmest regards to the leadership and members of the Nigerian Bar Association North Central Zone on the occasion of your 2025 Security Summit.
The theme, “Strengthening Security: Rule of Law and Justice Delivery in North Central Nigeria,” goes straight to the heart of the challenges we face as a nation.
Security is not just about presence – it is about protection. It is about systems that work, rights that are respected, and justice that is accessible and timely.
We cannot meaningfully address insecurity without addressing injustice. Where the rule of law is weak, conflict thrives.

Where access to justice is limited, frustration festers. And where civic institutions are disconnected from the people, trust is lost.
This summit, therefore, is not just timely it is necessary. It is a call to action for legal professionals, policymakers, security agencies, and civil society to engage more intentionally with the root causes of insecurity in our region.
I encourage participants to leave this summit with not just resolutions, but with renewed commitment to implementation, collaboration, and sustained civic engagement.
