The former NBA 2nd Vice President and Chair, Lawyers in Academia, Prof. Foluke Dada-Lawanson has felicitated with the NBA Benin Branch on the Occasion of Its 2025 Annual Law Week, wishing them a successful law week.
See her full message below;
As a proud supporter of the NBA Benin Branch, I celebrate the daring and visionary choice of theme: *Restoring Credible Justice: Bridging the Gap Between Law and Public Trust in Nigeria’s Judiciary.*
In a time when public confidence in our justice system is fragile, this theme offers a beacon of hope, a reminder that reform is possible, and trust can be rebuilt. I believe justice must be more than a courtroom verdict; it must be a lived experience felt by every citizen.
Let this Law Week be a call to action. Through courageous dialogue, principled leadership, and inclusive engagement, we can move from skepticism to certainty and from doubt to *possibilities.*
Together, let’s champion justice that is not only seen but truly trusted.
Prof. Foluke Dada-Lawanson
Chair, Lawyers in Academia
2nd Vice President, NBA (2018-2020)
