“From Honour To Hustle” — Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe, SAN, Urges Lawyers To Reclaim The Noble Identity Of The Profession

Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe, SAN, FCIArb (UK), former Chairman of the NBA Lagos Branch, has called on legal practitioners to restore the noble ideals of the profession, emphasizing integrity, justice, and societal responsibility over personal ambition.

In a statement themed “From Honour to Hustle? Reclaiming the Noble Identity of the Legal Profession,” Akangbe reflected on the current challenges facing the legal sector, where ambition often overshadows conscience and convenience sometimes trumps conviction. He stressed that the law is not merely a ladder for personal gain, but a covenant to uphold justice, fairness, and the common good.

“This Law Week is more than a gathering; it is a call to renewal. To make honour our hustle, integrity our ambition, and justice our legacy,” Akangbe remarked.

He congratulated the Chairman of the Law Week Committee and members of the NBA Idemili Branch for organizing the conference, expressing hope that it would inspire lawyers to stand courageously for what is right, even when it is unpopular.

Akangbe’s remarks underscore a broader call for transformative leadership within Nigeria’s legal profession, encouraging young and seasoned lawyers alike to elevate ethical standards and reaffirm their role as guardians of democracy.
