Speaking when the law week committee members paid him a courtesy visit in his office at Ikeja, Ipaye noted that the state government had always supported the Bar in the state, adding that the cordial relation between lawyers and the government had deepened the justice sector reforms.
He assured the team that the state government would support the branch in its Law Week activities, stressing the need for continuing legal education to enable lawyers sharpen their skills and remain relevant in their chosen profession.
Earlier, NBA Lagos Branch chairman, Mr. Alex Muoka, who led the delegation informed the attorney general of his appointment to chair the tax session during the Law Week slated for June 24th to 26th, adding that the high-profile Law Week Dinner would be devoted to honouring the special guest and out-going Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) and welcoming the governor-elect, Mr. Akinwumi Ambode.
Also, aside from Ipaye, other deserving members of the Bar would also receive awards at the dinner.
In her contribution, chairperson of the Law Week Committee, Mrs. Tolani Edu-Adeola, thanked the attorney general for his continued support, adding that he “has been an exemplary leader of the Bar for Lagos State” during his four-year sojourn as Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice.
Edu-Adeola noted that the week is designed as the “best ever in the history of the Premier Bar, given the array of resource persons, topical industry-related discourses and fun-filled activities lined up for the week.”
Other members of the Law Week Committee during the visit were Ms. Geraldine Wey, Mr. Emeka Nwadioke and Mrs. Tara Aisida.
