The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has expressed its readiness to work, partner with the government and willing agencies in the on-going corruption war.
President of the association, Augustine Alegeh, while reinstating the association’s commitment towards the fight against corruption and corrupt practices in the nation, stated that the fight against corruption should be approached and tackled within the ambit of the law without infringing or breaching any fundamental rights or breaking the law of the land and will also ensure the delivery of justice to all and sundry.
The Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, and the Local Organising Committee Chairman, Solomon Umoh, both expressed concerns over the conduct of lawyers believing that members of the profession are currently under scrutiny, especially now that the war against corruption has been intensified by the Buhari administration.
