Auta in his statement on Friday, said It is with utmost delight that he felicitate and congratulate the Lagos (Premier Bar) and Ikeja (Tiger Branch) Branches of the NBA.
Read his full statement below:
The theme for the Lagos branch dinner for this year is ” Proudly Nigerian”.
This to my mind is a wake-up call for us to depart from the negative stereotypes, flaws and foibles of our Nation so that we can elicit pride in her strengths and achievements whilst looking inward with renewed vigour to make Nigeria a country we can all be indeed proud of.
My special appreciation goes first to the Branch Chairmen, other elected officials and the Bar Dinner Committee of both branches, for the sheer diligence in garnering resources to put these auspicious events together in consonace with the age long and sacred tradition of the Profession.
The importance of Bar Dinners such as these cannot be overemphasized.: amongst others, it provides a unique opportunity for us as colleagues to network and enjoy the finest cuisine under a very relaxed atmosphere outside the extremely formal settings of our daily professional calling; it also affords us the opportunity to strengthen our personal ties and Professional brotherhood.
Towing the thought pattern of the revered Professor Chinua Achebe, this call to feast is not to save anyone from starvation but because it is pertinent to foster the bond and brotherhood amongst Bar men.
As you dine and wine with one another, it is my hope and prayer that you also ponder on the state of “our Judiciary” with the intention of proferring solutions to the issues that plague us, so that we can truly say that we are the hope of the common man.
I cannot end this goodwill message without appreciating you all, my dear colleagues whose presence has lent credence to the work of the dinner committee.
May your souls be nourished and your bodies too.
Bon appètìt.
God bless NBA Lagos Branch
God bless NBA Ikeja Branch
God Bless Lagos State
God bless Nigeria.
