The apex Nigerian lawyers association, the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) holds State of the Nation Dialogue today the 30th of January 2023.

NBA President, Y.C. Maikyau SAN stated that the dialogue was necessary because the legal profession could not afford to fail to discharge its primary responsibility of providing leadership and guidance on matters that affect the socio-economic and political development of the country.

“In doing this, we must continue to demonstrate a high regard for professional and ethical standards to earn the respect of the government and the people.

“We are set to go to the polls in about five weeks, to elect our representatives who will run the affairs of government, executive and legislative, for the next four years. For this purpose, we have the responsibility to provide guidance and leadership to the Nigerian people, from the point of view of our privileged position as members of the legal profession,” he said.
