Abubakar Malami, the minister of justice and attorney general of the federation, has said the $9 billion judgment delivered against Nigeria in London Court recently, was a reflection of the poor treatment that previous governments gave to serious legal issues.
Malami made the observation on Monday, August 26, 2019, while speaking at the ongoing Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA in Lagos.
Malami noted that it is sad that past administration handed over serious legal issues to lawyers who were incompetent.
The AGF however assured that the matter is currently being investigated and that those found to have committed any crime will be prosecuted.
Ironically, the theme of the conference is ‘Facing the Future’.
