Thanking the governor for exempting lawyers with court engagements, Owubokiri explained that as the range of services rendered by lawyers are mostly essential to life,  freedom and the protection of property, it is in the interest of the state and her residents that all legal practitioners be counted among professionals rendering essential services.”
