 The river state governor Newsome Weke has assured urged Nigerian lawyers to engage in judicial activism. This he says will serve as a deliberate measure in addressing the slow dispensation of justice and attempt to stifle the rights of the citizenry. It was the 61st annual general conference of the Nigerian Bar Association NBA conference in Port Hackett. Governor Weke said no excellence could be achieved in the nation's judicial system when judges lack the courage to enforce the law with equal measure. This is because they are constantly under some form of political intimidation or pressure to please vested interest. The legal system and the rule of law in our country who are the one that confronts a blind and good government may be tough and nothing is interpreted by its kind. But there can be no room for its sense with its authority. If we must expect to have excellence in a judicial system and prevent innocent persons from social adversities because of the failures of the legal system our judges lack the courage to enforce our laws with equal measures. The Chief Justice of Nigeria Honourable Justice Ibrahim Tankel Mohamed gave an address. He charged the NBA and its members that serve in various offices to lead the crusade to address the poor condition of service of the national judicial officers. Justice Mohamed was represented by Justice Miri Adili. He observed that administration of justice is being hampered by a source that litigants, especially politicians and some lawyers launch on the judiciary when their ends are not met. NBA President Ullumi de Aguata hinted on the future of the legal profession within the context of a rapidly changing world. I have encouraged my brother, Justice, to see the administration of justice as one of the fundamental solutions to some of the nation's surprises. The peace of the nation rests on the balance of the scale of justice and on the path of the issue. But justice is served at all times, irrespective of the pressure from the wind. The objective of this conference is encapsulated within taking the lead which is to serve as a power production to legal practitioners all over the country irrespective of the areas of practice to take up the challenge, rise to the occasion and provide this country with effective and quality leadership that has been lacking for decades since independence. Governor Wieke said there is need to seek judicial interpretation of the executive order number 10. That, in itself, is an oppressive erosion of the powers and autonomy of the sub-national government. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
