I am privileged to be the guest lecturer at the grand finale of the 2021 Law Week of Nigerian Bar Association Owo Branch, on Wednesday, July 21, 2021 themed: “Nigeria and the Challenge of Insecurity: the Law and Lawyers as Panacea”.

“The four-in-one event marks the official commissioning of the NBA Owo Bar Complex, the grand finale of the 2021 Law Week Celebration of the branch, the launch of essays in honour of, and the 65th birthday anniversary of our indefatigable, amiable and performing Governor, His Excellency, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN who is also the grand patron of the branch”.

“The insecurity challenges that Nigeria faces today have been a nightmare and an unending challenge. Security is everyone’s business and it is my hope that this theme will further deepen our understanding in the existing discussions on the security challenge in Nigeria as well as provides an opportunity for cross-fertilization of ideas in a bid to make Nigeria a better and safer place for us all”.

I also commend the efforts of the executives of the branch for their innovation as well as their choice of theme which I consider apt.
