The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) says it is aware of the declining state of the profession in the country, The Vanguard reports.
President of the association, Abubakar Mamood (SAN) who said this at the opening session of the National Executive Council of the NBA in Minna, Niger State, assured that sanity will be restored to the profession.
He said, “We are conscious of the declining state of the legal profession, considering the challenges and myriad of problems we are facing, but NBA will not abdicate its responsibility.
“We will continue to be the voice of the voiceless, we will speak for the judiciary and protect the independence and integrity of the legal profession, both the Bar and the Bench, just as we intend to fight and fish out the bad eggs in the system.
“NBA will always cooperate with the Federal Government to fish out bad eggs but this should be done in accordance with due process and the rule of Law.”
