He bemoaned the unhealthy practice of some lawyers, flooding the court with frivolous case files and constant applications for adjournment, thereby levying clients hugely with appearance fees.

The Governor commended the members of the Bar Association, Imo State Chapter for the theme of the Law Week: State of Legal Practice in Nigeria – Imo State, which he stated was aptly conceived as it should be applied in sanitizing the legal profession.
