Lagos State Chief Judge, Justice Olufunmilayo Atilade, has urged lawyers to maintain the highest level of diligence and integrity in the discharge of their professional duties.

Justice Atilade made the call while unveiling the Lawyers’ Changing Room renovated for the Nigerian Bar Association, Lagos Branch by the Lagos State Judiciary.

The CJ noted that both the Bar and the bench must work together to deliver justice to the populace, adding that a symbiotic relationship between the two arms of the justice sector was imperative if the wheel of justice was to run smoothly.

Justice Atilade, who took members of the Bar on a guided tour of the facility, also commissioned the state-of-the-art coffee-making machine donated to the branch by Patoreal Limited.

Speaking earlier, the Chairman of the Lagos branch, Mr. Martin Ogunleye, commended Justice Atilade for fostering what he described as an excellent relationship between the Bar and the bench. He noted that the Lagos Chief Judge had earlier renovated the foyer used by the branch for its monthly meetings and other activities into a world-class facility and had now topped it with a befitting Changing Room for Lagos lawyers.

“My Lord is a shining example of how the bench can support the Bar to drive reform and engender progress.We continue to receive tremendous support from Your Lordship on all fronts for which we are very grateful,” Ogunleye said.
