Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has called on lawyers in the country to be just and upright in their profession.
Osinbajo gave this counsel at the inauguration of the Nigerian Bar Association House in Abuja on Friday.

He charged legal practitioners on the need to imbibe the virtue of integrity in their professional dealings, saying that integrity and accountability were the hallmark of the profession.


He said, “I believe that our profession has a lot to offer our nation, especially in its most difficult times.

“The most important aspect of that is integrity; our profession must demonstrate that we are capable of teaching integrity in this land. “People should believe us for what we say we are; we must bear in mind that everyone is looking at us and that we are the example not just for our profession but for the entire country,’’ Osinbajo said.

He hailed the NBA leadership for its unity of purpose in ensuring that the Bar House was not abandoned by successive NBA administrations.

“One of the important lessons we have seen in this edifice is the power of unity from Mr Olisa Agbakoba to the Presidency of Augustine Alegeh.


“We see the completion of the building which by every account is possibly one of the most important edifices in this city of Abuja.

“It is a building that demonstrates the unity of the legal profession; it demonstrates our capacity to start and to finish, which is by itself a very rare thing in this part of the world”, he added.

We should believe lawyers for who they said they are




OK, we don hear, but the truth is that lawyers are trained liars.


They are professional in lying job and that is what they're paid for.

Not hating lawyers o, (one of my kids has even said she wants to become a lawyer)but saying the obvious.
