The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) said it was ready to reform the development of the law sector in Nigeria, adding that this would result in strengthening the existing institutions, proper regulation for the development of the sector and instituting mechanisms for benchmarking progress in the development of the sector.

According to a statement issued by the association in Abuja and made available to the Nigerian Tribune, “lack of laws regulating development in the country has been part of the reasons despite all the efforts of the government to kick- start development and economic growth, the achieved results are not commensurate with the efforts put in setting up the mechanisms.

“NBA is poised to achieve reform of the development of the law sector. This will result in strengthening existing institutions, proper regulation for the development of the sector and instituting mechanisms for benchmarking progress in the development of the sector. This mandate of the NBA is in line with its objectives to promote good governance and the rule of law in Nigeria and achieve reforms in these sectors.

“In preparation to achieving this goal, the NBA would be convening a consultative forum with development partners, which is aimed at providing a platform to engage and share perspectives on governance, development and reform issues in Nigeria and to explore areas of collaboration.
