Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association and immediate past Chairman of the Body of Benchers, Chief Wole Olanipekun, CFR, SAN, last Friday in Abuja, called on Nigerians to entertain dreams that will match and address not only our present shortcomings, but also put us on the crest for future development.
Chief Olanipekun was Keynote Speaker at the Colloquium to mark the 25th anniversary of Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama, as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and book presentation.
Concluding his 33 page presentation at the event with the theme: “The Nigeria of Our Dream, A Call to the Patriots” Chief Olanipekun said: “It is hoped that this Colloquium will provoke us to dreaming dreams that will match and address not only our present shortcomings, but also put us on the crest for future development”.
He said: “By applying the word future, I mean a future that will ignite and rekindle hope in our youths and generations to come. With this process in place, the present war of attrition and transferred aggression by the youths, poor and down trodden against any person or citizen who is generally perceived as an oppressor, be he a civil servant, middle class man or woman, successful Farmer, Lawyer, Doctor or any other professional, would be substantially curtailed.
“In the same vein, we would no longer see ourselves as second-class citizens of the world, for at creation, God has not made us inferior to any other race or people.”
