The President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. Olumide Akpata has stated that on the occasion of the celebration of the country at 60, it calls for celebration, for being together in unity amidst several events that threatened our collective existence.

This is contained in a statement by him which was made available to TheNigeriaLawyer (TNL).

Meanwhile, the NBA President charges the Government to rededicate themselves to democratic ideals by respecting the Constitution, Rule of Law and obeying Court orders.

The statement reads:

NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION – DIAMOND JUBILEE MESSAGE

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) joins all Nigerians in celebrating the grand occasion of the 60th Anniversary of our great nation as an independent and sovereign entity.

It seems just like a few years ago that we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our independence in 2010. Alas, like a famous poet noted, time’s winged chariot hurries ever near.

Indeed, while we have abundant reasons to celebrate our continuous existence as a nation, it is important to acknowledge that recent events have tested our collective resolve, and it is a testament to our resilience and collective will that we have weathered, and continue to weather, these storms.

The NBA uses this occasion to call on the Government and people of Nigeria to rededicate ourselves to our democratic ideals of respect of the fundamental principles of our union including respect for the supremacy of the Constitution and the Rule of Law; unqualified obedience of all orders of court; respect for the fundamental rights of citizens, and to continually strive towards a country based on equity and fairness.

Happy Diamond Jubilee!

OLUMIDE AKPATA
PRESIDENT, NBA
