“That the NWLR has blazed the trail by being in existence for more than 25 years gives us much hope and cause for optimism about the future of law reporting in Nigeria. The NWLR has no doubt in the past twenty-five years surmounted innumerable challenges. Today, it has rightly become a national heritage of which the Nigerian legal community and, indeed, the nation should be very proud. Everything should be done by a grateful nation and an appreciative legal profession to ensure that The Nigerian Weekly Law Reports not only survives beyond the next quarter of a century and well into the next century, but also that it maintains its standard of excellence,
As a mark of their indelible contribution to the legal system and laws in Nigeria and in recognition of the glory the Nigeria Weekly Law Reports (NWLR) has brought to Nigeria among nations of the common law world, the Nigerian Weekly Law Reports and the principal members of its Editorial Board deserve to be bestowed befitting national honours by a grateful nation.
I so propose. Thank you.” Hon. Justice Emmanuel Olayinka Ayoola, J.S.C. at 25th Anniversary of Nigerian Weekly Law Reports.
