First, I saw it as my own modest contribution to the celebration of an Officer and gentleman whom I have since discovered to be a pleasant, humble and amiable person. Second, I saw it as an opportunity to encourage other Officers (men and women alike) to chronicle their life and career development for the benefit of the younger ones. Considering the advantage of permanence and continual readership that books offer over other forms of documentation, I am convinced such narrative will serve as a reference book, archival material and memorabilia in years to come.

    Presentation at the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference, Abuja 2015 on Current Developments in Judicial Reforms in Nigeria

    PRESENTATION AT THE NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION ANNUAL GENERAL CONFERENCE, ABUJA 2015 ON CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN JUDICIAL REFORMS IN NIGERIA Introduction The words of the then Speaker of the Nigerian House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal at the public hearing of the bill for the enactment of the administration of Criminal Justice Bill vividly captures the need for continuous judicial reform of any nation. According to him “….human society is dynamic; the system of administration of justice cannot be static but must be improved to create more effective and efficient mechanisms, procedures and institutions for dealing with the new realities and challenges in the society. This is because it is impossible to have a sound economy without a solid foundation of good laws that can curb anti-social behaviours and other disruptive tendencies. As we develop plans and strategies for the economic and other forms of reforms, we also need to develop plans and programmes for creating sound laws and procedural systems consistent with our commitment to our legislative agenda.” One cannot but agree with the above submission as a sound economy is the surest engine of growth and the shortest route to tackling the challenges that confronts any given society. No nation, therefore, can boast to have achieved the best of reform in its judicial system at any given time without putting measures in place that allow for the continuous reform of its justice sector in line with the changes inherent in human society which also translates to changes in the economy. The role of law in promoting economic development cannot be underscored because most of human lives and interaction with each other are regulated by law.

    International Journal of Clinical Legal Education Issue 17 Legal Clinics and Professional Skills Development in Nigeria S.K Mokidi and C.A. Agbebaku* Introduction The educational sector has a direct bearing on the social, economic, political and scientific development of a nation hence there have been increased anxieties, in recent times, about the deteriorating state of Nigeria’s educational system� The growing concerns stem from the quality of our university graduates, which has become less than satisfactory and the law graduates are no exception� Thus there is a growing demand for reforms not only in the training of lawyers but of the entire educational system in Nigeria� The declining professional skills of lawyers has taken an alarming trend over the last decade with the result that, clients most often do not get value for money paid for legal services and society does not also feel the much needed impact of lawyers� The present situation is attributed to a number of factors ranging from inadequate curriculum, inadequate manpower and training facilities both in the universities and the Nigerian Law School, to unfavourable government educational policies� The challenges confronting the 21st century Nigerian lawyer are growing every day� Some fifty years ago not many people in Nigeria knew about the computer or knew about Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test or how to apply it in evidence� Today the computer is a necessary household facility in Nigeria; today we are faced with the problem of how to apply electronic generated evidence� The
