Nigeria needs good lawyers to resist tyranny – CJN

 


The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, on Wednesday said there was a need for more cerebral lawyers to emerge in Nigeria to resist tyranny and expand the frontiers of jurisprudence in the country.

According to him, with more good lawyers, the fundamental issues of the rule of law and basic human rights would be promoted and defended at all levels of society.

The CJN, represented by a Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Helen Moronkeji Ogunwumiju, said this in Abuja during the public presentation of a book, ‘Two Decades of Forensic Advocacy at the Inner Bar: A Festschrift in Honour of Yusuf Ali (SAN)’.
