March Update

by admin

We are keeping it short and sweet this month.

We would like to register in strong words, our disapproval of the handling of the Jos Crises by the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This is a situation that should never have deteriorated to the point it has. We are asking both the Federal and the State Governments to wake up to their civil responsibilities one of which is the security of persons and property.

Section 14 (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has provided that

the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of the government

If the above said is the primary purpose of the government and the security and welfare of the citizens of Plateau state have been completely neglected, may one not infer that the government of Nigeria has failed in its primary purpose? If an institution continually and habitually fails to achieve the primary purpose for which it is established, how does that institution justify its continued existence?

Conferences

The annual Business Law Conference, which is organized by the Nigerian Bar Association’s (NBA) Section on Business Law (SBL) will be holding in Abuja from the 5th to 9th of April, 2010. This year’s theme is ‘Regulating the Business Environment in Emerging Markets’. Check back later for a teaser from the Conference Chairperson. For more information, check the conference website.
The Commonwealth Regional Law Conference is taking place in Abuja from the 8th to the 11th of April, 2010. The theme is ‘The 21st Century Lawyer: Present Challenges & Future Skills’ and the focus of the conference shall be on:

- Human Rights and the Rule of Law and
- Corporate and Commercial Law

If you are in Nigeria at that time, do make an effort to attend.
