The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi, and the president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, have urged newly elevated Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) to uphold professional ethics and accountability amid concerns about declining public confidence in the justice system.
