Prof Ojukwu Calls On NBA To Support Law Officers

Prof Ernest Ojukwu SAN (Teacher) calls on the Nigerian Bar
Association, the Federal and State Governments to radically support
the Law Officers Association of Nigeria – LOAN as sustainable
umbrella association of Law Officers in Nigeria in her commitment
to delivering justice, the highest standard of integrity, honour in
the legal profession, the promotion of justice sector reform, and
the promotion of the welfare and wellbeing of law officers in
Nigeria.

Teacher noted that it was heart warming to listen to the NBA
President AB Mahmoud SAN, who chaired the opening ceremony of the
2nd Annual National Law Officers conference today at Abuja announce
the support of the NBA to LOAN and other lawyers in the public
service for better welfare and emoluments.

Teacher had back on 30th August 2016 stated publicly that the
Bar has not supported its members who work in the Ministries and
advised that “there is no reason why the Bar should not fight for
better emoluments for its members in the Ministry of Justice and
other agencies particularly now that we expect so much from them in
the fight against corruption”.

In his press statement, Ojukwu also said that the time is now
for NBA to strongly be in the fore front for our law officers and
also remove the dichotomy existing between our law officers and
other members of the NBA so that law officers can exercise their
full rights of membership of the Bar including right to be elected
into offices of the Bar.

He opined that law officers are in the heart of administration
of justice in the country and no kind of reform of the justice
sector will take root unless we make law officers interests,
welfare, rights, standard, competence, commitment and role a
priority in our scheme of challenges in Nigeria.

He thanked and congratulated the Law officers for the apt theme
of their conference that addresses “Re-engineering the Law officers
sector for the effective administration of Justice in Nigeria” and
sponsors of the conference like UNODC.
