Mahmoud who held his median press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, said, “under my administration, we will not tolerate senior lawyers undermining Justice administration in any way.
“Senior lawyers must demonstrate leadership and courage to assist courts to dispense Justice. We are going to pay attention to lawyers who abuse the rules of professional conduct in the discharge of their duties.
“The NBA under my watch will work hard to ensure that we flush out lawyers with integrity deficit. Most importantly, we are going to place emphasis on change of attitude.
“Efficacy of the justice system hinges on ability of lawyers to operate within the scope of the rules of professional conduct”, Mahmoud added.
