Abubakar Malami, the attorney-general of the federation (AGF), has inaugurated the General Council of the Bar.
Delivering his keynote address on Monday at the ceremony in Abuja, Malami urged members of the council to remain committed to professionalism.
Malami also advised the NBA to work in synergy with the council “to build an enviable legal profession that will be beneficial to us all”.“A body which consists of all the chief law officers in the federation cannot simply be ignored by any leadership of the NBA which is truly desirous of making significant impact on the administration of justice and promotion of the rule of law generally in Nigeria,” the AGF said.
“The NBA should consider the Bar Council as an alternate board of trustees or advisory body, a link or liaison with the federal executive council, state executive councils, national and state assemblies, Nigerian Governors Forum, conference of speakers of state assemblies, etc.”Other members of the council are the attorneys-general of the states and 20 NBA members.
