Speaking on the theme of the conference, getting it right, chatting the course for Nigeria's nation building, the president stated that had decisions must be made to set the country on a growth trajectory despite the initial pains which meaningful reforms usually bring. We must banish it to you all. It's a path to destruction. We cannot continue that. We have to make hard decisions.

Our respect is for all of you gathered here. Together, we can build our country and set Nigeria on the path of greatness. I promise you, I will do my very best to achieve this. Thank you very much. We have decided to go on with this composition around international areas of security, economy and industrial justice because these are matters that are of great concern to the people of this country. It is our intention that at the end of this meeting we would have set an agenda on behalf of the people of this country. Be legal practitioners in Nigeria, be it of the bench or at the bar, is that in the discharge of our professional endeavours, we should be continually guided by the need to play the interest of the nation first. Transforming Nigeria is a journey that demands collective dedication, leading across political affiliations, ethnic differences and social economic differences. Reading and transforming our nation is one that is not the responsibility of our government alone. Great nation starts with great people, not great leaders.
