Theme: Strengthening the Legal Profession: Discipline, Ethics, and Innovation in Contemporary Practice
It gives me immense pleasure to extend my heartfelt goodwill to the distinguished leadership and members of the Nigerian Bar Association, Kaduna Branch, as you commemorate your 2025 Law Week under the timely and thought-provoking theme:
“Strengthening the Legal Profession: Discipline, Ethics, and Innovation in Contemporary Practice.”
This theme is not only relevant but imperative, as our profession faces increasing demands for accountability, integrity, and transformation in a rapidly evolving legal and technological landscape.
It calls for sober reflection and decisive action to uphold the values upon which the Bar was built—values of service, justice, truth, and responsibility.As legal practitioners, we are stewards of justice.
It is our collective duty to ensure that the legal profession remains a beacon of hope for the common man.
We must recommit ourselves to upholding discipline in practice, maintaining the highest ethical standards, and embracing innovation as a necessary tool for the advancement of justice delivery in Nigeria.
I commend the Chairman, Executive Committee, and the entire membership of the Kaduna Branch for your dedication to fostering professionalism, knowledge exchange, and unity among lawyers.
Law Weeks like this serve as a crucible for dialogue, mentorship, and reform.
I urge you to use this platform to spark solutions that will outlive the conversations.I also salute the elders of the Bar, the young lawyers, and all resource persons participating in this year’s Law Week.
May your deliberations be fruitful and your actions impactful.May the Kaduna Branch continue to grow in strength and relevance.
I look forward to the outcomes of this week and the continued leadership of the Kaduna Branch in shaping the future of legal practice in Nigeria.
Long live the Nigerian Bar Association.Long live the Kaduna Branch.God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
