Dear Colleagues,
As we commemorate the 64th anniversary of Nigeria’s independence, we are reminded of the profound responsibility we bear as custodians of justice in a nation striving for progress, unity, and fairness. The legal profession has always stood as a pillar of strength in Nigeria’s development, guiding the evolution of our laws, defending human rights, and fostering the rule of law.
Nigeria's independence gained through the efforts of patriots who believed in a brighter future, should inspire us to renew our commitment to justice, equality, and good governance. As lawyers, we are uniquely positioned to influence positive change, ensuring that the laws we practice protect the dignity of every Nigerian, regardless of status or circumstance.
Our nation still faces numerous challenges, but with a legal community grounded in professionalism, ethics, and the fearless pursuit of justice, we can contribute to building a Nigeria where peace, prosperity, and equity reign supreme.
On this special occasion, let us reflect on the journey of our nation and the role we must continue to play. May we always strive to uphold the highest standards of our profession, and may Nigeria continue to grow in unity, strength, and justice.
Happy Independence Day to all Nigerian lawyers and all Nigerians. Let us remain resolute in our mission to ensure that the ideals of independence—freedom, justice, and equity—continue to guide our actions.
Dr. Rapulu Nduka
Past National Publicity Secretary,
Nigerian Bar Association.
