Former President Goodluck Jonathan has said Nigeria’s future depends on strong institutions, an impartial judiciary and adherence to the rule of law.
Jonathan stated this on Friday while speaking at the opening ceremony of the 2026 Law Week of the Yenagoa Branch of the Nigerian Bar Association in Bayelsa State.
The event, themed “Securing the Future: Sustainable National Asset Protection in Africa; Opportunities, Risks and Regulatory Pathways,” brought together legal practitioners, judicial officers and other stakeholders.
Addressing participants during a plenary session, Jonathan urged lawyers and judicial officers to uphold justice, fairness and the rule of law, describing members of the Bench and Bar as custodians of the nation’s legal system.
He said Nigeria’s progress and stability depended on the ability of its institutions to function independently and effectively.
