Governor Mutfwang Urges Nigerian Bar Association to Pursue Justice for Citizens

In Jos, Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, urged the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and the legal community to continue pursuing the cause of justice for ordinary Nigerians.

He also called for a united and single Bar that would champion the cause of justice, fairness, and diligent service to God and humanity, as well as building a better and crime-free nation.

Governor Mutfwang expressed delight that the NBA chose to hold its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Jos, which allowed members to enjoy the pleasant weather and hospitality of the people, encouraging them to be good ambassadors of the state.

He emphasized that Jos is one of the most peaceful cities in Northern Nigeria, and the negative narrative spread over the years was a plot by mischief makers to devalue the state for selfish reasons.

The Governor also thanked the legal community for supporting him during his legal ordeal to ensure that the Supreme Court remains the hope of the common man.

NBA President, Mr Yakubu Maikyau, commended Governor Mutfwang’s courage and determination to change the developmental story of the state for the better.

Mr Maikyau stated that the Bar would not relent in providing the right direction for the country and lamented the state of insecurity in Plateau and most parts of Nigeria.

He said that the Bar would work with the government to find solutions to the challenges facing the nation.

In his remarks, Chairman of the NBA Jos Branch, Izang Aware, highlighted that the Bar represents the finest tradition of promoting the rule of law, upholding the integrity and independence of the judiciary, and fostering good governance and a corruption-free society.

Governor Mutfwang’s call to action for the NBA to continue pursuing justice for ordinary Nigerians demonstrates a commitment to the betterment of the country and its legal system.
