The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), has charged the Legal Aid Council of Nigeria (LACoN) to ensure all Nigerians are able to access justice irrespective of economic conditions.
Fagbemi gave the charge on Wednesday in Abuja, during the inauguration of the Board of LACoN.
The AGF predicated his charge on his conviction that access to justice is not a luxury but rather a prerequisite for national security, public trust and socio-economic harmony.
