L-R: Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara and former President of Liberia, George Weah, at the 2026 Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Sunday.
Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has urged judges to consider the wider impact of their judgments on society, stressing that the quality and integrity of justice delivered by the courts are critical to maintaining law and order, and driving national development.
Fubara gave the advice on Sunday while declaring open the 66th Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association, on the theme ‘Beyond Limits,’ in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
He said the judges must ensure that nothing but the truth prevails at all times, irrespective of status or social affiliations.
“We cannot continue to insulate our laws from today’s reality; neither should justice remain shackled by unjust precedents, technicalities, inadequate access, undue delays, slavish adherence to rigid processes, political manipulation or brazen corruption.
