The president of the NBA Okey Wali stated this yesterday during the NBA, Abuja branch Annual Law Week. He also disclosed that the NBA Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) will hear cases against 30 other lawyers this week.
Wali, who was represented by the NBA General Secretary Emeka Obegolu, raised alarm over the increasing number of petitions bordering on discipline and ethics of the profession against legal practitioners in the country, and expressed commitment to weed out the bad eggs in the profession.
In his remarks, the Chief Justice of the FCT High Court, Justice Ibrahim Bukar, praised lawyers for their commitment to good leadership and the entrenchment of rule of law in the country.
He appealed to the Bar to support the Bench in attaining the independence and impartiality of the judiciary as a necessity for the rule of law.
