* Says Fagbemi perfect choice
Deji Elumoye in Abuja
The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has advised the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, to immediately prioritize reforms in Nigeria’s justice system.
President of the association, Yakubu Maikyau, gave the charge Thursday after meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the State House, Abuja.
Maikyau said the areas mostly in need of attention would be issues like outdated salaries for judicial officers and lengthy court processes.
The NBA President, who described Fagbemi’s appointment as a perfect fit for the role, expressed optimism while urging collaboration between the legal community and the government.
He said he was at the State House to thank the President ahead of the association’s conference scheduled for the weekend.
