Speaking earlier, chairman of the planning committee, Paschal Ugbome, explained the topic “Law as a tool for economic advancement and national security” was chosen to reflect the current realities in the country and profer solutions.
,“We have chosen the topic because it is important to our country. These two issues today, are capable of either moving us forward as a nation or making us remain static or collapse as a nation, Ugbome said.
He emphasized that “As lawyers, we decided to look at it from the prism of law because we believe that law is a pivot on which these two issues rotate. We will interrogate how we have fared as lawyers and why the law itself has failed as an instrument for economic advancement to guarantee national security. We believe we will come out with a way forward on these issues at the end of our Annual Law Week.”
Giving his goodwill remarks, Edo state Governor, Godwin Obaseki, , said the theme of the weeklong activity is right and that in encouraging investment and economic advancement.
The governor who was represented by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, noted, “We must examine our legal framework with the possibility of reforming it to ensure it fits the realities.”
