Two weeks ago, I was a guest speaker at the Annual Law Week of the Nigerian Bar Association, Ibadan Branch. I had the privilege of speaking on the important topic of Justice as the bedrock of an enduring democracy. Different people have different concepts of justice, depending always, on the circumstances and indeed the setting. But the universal idea of doing right to all manner of people, the concept of equity and fairness, to give to one what is due to him and not to deny people their rights, give the broad outline of what justice should be, at least to all mankind. Let me share the contents of my lecture with you.
