On the Occasion of the 2025 Law Week of the NBA Aba Branch
I extend my warmest felicitations to the distinguished members and leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association, Aba Branch, as you commemorate your 2025 Law Week and Eminent Person’s Lecture.
The chosen theme, “The Strength of the Judiciary: People’s Confidence, Glory Foretold or Disaster Waiting to Happen,” could not be more timely or compelling.
In an era where public trust in institutions is constantly tested, the judiciary must stand as an unwavering beacon of justice, integrity, and hope. This theme invites deep reflection, honest discourse, and a renewed commitment to the ideals that underpin the rule of law.
I commend the thoughtfulness of your weeklong programme—from sporting camaraderie and celebrating legends to your town hall on human rights and robust bar-government engagement. These events showcase not just the intellect of the Bar, but its heart and its humanity.
May this Law Week reignite the collective resolve to defend justice fearlessly, uphold the dignity of our noble profession, and chart a future of excellence for the judiciary and our nation.
Wishing you a successful, impactful, and truly memorable Law Week.
Aare Olumuyiwa Akinboro, SAN
