The President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr Yakubu Maikyau, on Monday in Abuja, apologised to Nigerians for what he described as the failure of lawyers to live up to their responsibilities of offering guidance for the advancement of the country.
Speaking at a National Dialogue on the State of the Nation organised by the association, Maikyau said most of the challenges Nigerians were facing were as a result of the neglect of lawyers to provide direction and leadership to the people.
”I must therefore, as one who is privileged to lead the Bar at this time, apologise to Nigerians for the abdication of our role.
