NIGERIAN Bar Association, Lagos Chapter law week commences and the event with the theme, ‘Democracy and Legal Order: Shaping the Future,’ would have cash and kind donations at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre and the Massey Children Centre, Lagos.
According to the Chairman of the Law Week Committee, Mr Wale Adesokan (SAN), the annual law week would explore the need for deliberate action in utilising Nigeria’s democracy and the law in shaping the future that Nigerians desire.
Adesokan also said the event would serve as a warning against the consequences of inaction in the face of ills plaguing Nigeria and society.
He said, “This year’s Lagos Law Week comes against the backdrop of Nigeria’s multifaceted crisis and the resulting mounting pressure that threatens the future of the country. By leading this discourse, the NBA, Lagos Chapter, seeks to chart a new course for the redemption of the nation’s legal system and the freedom that citizens should enjoy in a democratic nation.
“It is a chance to listen, contribute, learn, unlearn and relearn, as we all work towards building a working system and a free world, in the most relaxing and comfortable environments.”
