As the season of Easter 2018 starts I extend the season’s best
wishes of peace, renewal and hope to all lawyers.
The nation is in growing turmoil- facing insecurity, challenges
of corruption, rule of law, democracy, justice, equality,
tolerance, and economic welfare.
As part of the nation, lawyers and the legal profession face
these turmoils too. While we can easily accuse the system and
Institutions for these failures, yet the reality is that what
failed first is the character and ethical principles in human
agents. Today, humanity and Nigerians are ashamed of our inability
to turn the tide of unethical practices spreading like cancer, and
our inability to defend human life, protect human dignity and
promote the welfare of all.
At this time of our history, the burden of leading a new
positive conversation lies on lawyers and the legal profession. I
urge us all to use the Easter season to reflect on our actions,
responsibilities and values. Join the conversation and set a new
bar for the legal profession and our Nation.
