FIACJ invites Bar Leaders and Leaders of other Legal Organisations to its Monthly Meeting

Fight Against Corruption in the Judiciary, FIACIJ, invites Bar Leaders and Leaders of other legal organisations to its October15th      scheduled to in Lagos.

Corruption has become a catch phrase in the last few years. It is the reason for everything that goes wrong or does not work well in our nation today. It has become a political slogan and a rallying cry for the masses but to what end?

Are we serious about eradicating corruption? How much has been done to truly change attitudes? What time and efforts have we made to equip, enable and encourage those who fight to rid our profession and judiciary of corrupt elements?

The Judiciary in Lagos took a bold step last year. The Chief Justice of Lagos State put mechanisms in place to discourage corrupt practices within the judiciary BUT WHAT HAS THE BAR IN LAGOS DONE TO COMPLEMENT THESE EFFORTS?

THE NBA IS NOT THE ONLY GROUPING OF BAR LEADERS. THERE IS FIDA, AWLA, CLASFON, MULAN, CATHOLIC LAWYERS ETC…. Where are all these other groupings in the fight against corruption in our profession?

We use this opportunity to invite all the representatives of these other legal bodies to our October 15th meeting [details below]. If you are here amongst us, come and plug your organisation or association in. Let us Fight From all fronts and let us liberate ourselves
