NBA tasks lawyers on commitment to Justice
By Sandra Umeh
President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Mazi Afam Osigwe (SAN) on Sunday, called on legal practitioners to remain focused in their commitment to preserving the rule of law and justice
Osigwe made the call in an Easter message issued to newsmen in Lagos.
According to him, Easter is a time that reminds Christians of the enduring power of sacrifice exemplified by Christ, noting that Nigerian lawyers must always seek to adhere to truth and justice.
“Easter is a time of profound reflection, a season that speaks to the enduring power of sacrifice, renewal and the triumph of hope over despair.
“It reminds us that even in the darkest of times, light prevails; as a nation and as a profession, these values remain ever relevant.
“For us in the legal profession, Easter calls us to reaffirm our commitment to justice, truth and service.
“It is a time to strengthen our resolve to uphold the rule of law, protect the vulnerable and pursue equity without fear or favour,” he said.
Osigwe also urged lawyers to strive to be vessels of peace in their respective communities and remain steadfast in doing justice.
“I encourage us all to draw inspiration from the message of Easter, to be vessels of peace, unity and compassion in our homes, workplaces and the society at large.
“Let us continue to build bridges where there are divides and offer courage where there is doubt.
“May this season of renewal and hope bring you peace, joy and spiritual rejuvenation,” he said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
