1. It is a great honour to be in this distinguished audience today.

2. I'm told that this is the greatest gathering of lawyers and law teachers from all the universities that offer law as a course in Nigeria today in one place.

3. So, on behalf of the Government and people of Anambra State, I welcome you all to the peaceful city of Awka.

4. In Anambra State, we pride ourselves as the Light of the Nation.

5. So, it is not a coincidence that the 50th Anniversary of the National Association of Law Teachers of Nigeria is taking place in Anambra today.

6. Not only has our dear state contributed great minds to the legal education and the practice of law in Nigeria but Anambra is also widely regarded as the safest state in Nigeria today.

7. So, once again, we welcome you with open hearts and arms to Anambra State.

8. Your Excellency, Ladies and gentlemen, I understand that the theme for this historic anniversary edition of your conference is "Law, Security and National Development.

9. I must thank you for choosing such a theme at this moment in our national history.

10. This theme completely captures the lingering dilemma of our country and the one puzzle we must collectively solve to give Nigeria a fighting chance at national development.

11. Your Excellency, Anambra State stands out today as a shinning example of what a people can achieve if they make unrelenting efforts to place Law and Order and National Security as a precondition for national growth and development.

12. Anyone who is familiar with the Anambra narrative would remember that for decades, our beloved state was held down by lawlessness and insecurity which made all efforts at meaningful development totally impossible.

13. In fact, at a point in time, Anambra could almost pass for a postcard of disorder and insecurity.

14. But our story has changed in just three years.

15. We have made rapid progress from being an address for lawlessness to an oasis of peace and a destination for wise investors.

16. The very fact that this prestigious association chose to host the Golden Anniversary edition of its Annual Conference in Awka underscores the importance of what we have achieved in securing Anambra State.

17. The idea of holding this conference in this state would have been inconceivable in the past.

18. But we have changed our story, Your Excellency. And we did it with the Law.

19. Your Excellency, if we can do it, then Nigeria can do it even better.

20. That is why this conference gives me a lot of hope.
