The event, which had 16,190 lawyers in attendance, was energised by the President’s speech, adding that the prosperity Nigerians require will only happen when the country does away with poverty in its society.
Tinubu said Nigeria needs the focused cooperation of the private sector leaders, adding that many of them were at the event, where he presented the opening ceremony.
He said: “Can we continue to service external debts with 90% of our revenue? It is a path to destruction. It is not sustainable. We must make the very difficult changes that are necessary for our country to get up from slumber and be respected among the great nations of the world.”
