The National Bar Association, NBA has invited the 16th Fulani Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II to their Annual Conference that was held at Amani Event Centre, Kano.
The event had in attendance the President of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Justice Benedict Bakwaph Kanyip, NBA President Yakubu Maikyau, SAN, Chief Judge of Kano State, Justice Dije Aboki, and other legal luminaries.
The invitation extended to Muhammadu Sanusi II served as a recognition of him by the NBA as the 16th Emir of Kano State and to also render his royal blessing and address the participants.
The monarch who also spoke said the theme of the conference, ‘Administration of Justice in Nigeria: Challenges and Reforms,’ was apt, as it was only when there is justice in the land that society can have peace, which is a prerequisite for progress and development.
The governor, represented at the conference by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Abdullahi Bappa Bichi, told the legal practitioners to always tell their clients the truth when they bring a bad case, even when the truth is bitter, rather than insisting on satisfying their clients by carrying out what is not within the ambit of the law.
He also said it was a good opportunity to challenge the NBA members on the conflicting court orders given on the Kano emirate tussle when the case is purely a state affair.
