The Chief Judge of Ogun State, Justice Mosunmola Dipeolu, has urged lawyers and judicial officers to uphold integrity and ethical standards in the administration of justice, warning that public confidence in the legal profession would continue to decline if ethical values were compromised.
Dipeolu stated that integrity remains the most valuable currency in the justice system, noting that no amount of legislation can restore public trust once integrity disappears from the legal profession.
The Chief Judge spoke on Thursday at the Annual Bar Lecture of the Nigerian Bar Association, Sagamu Branch, held at the Banquet Hall of NANDAS Hotel, Sagamu, Ogun State.
The event was attended by the Akarigbo and Paramount Ruler of Remoland, Oba Babatunde Ajayi; Justice Catherine Ogunsanya, a High Court judge in the state, who delivered the keynote address; Mr Olatunde Adejuyigbe (SAN); as well as other judges, lawyers and judicial officers from across the state.
