Governor of Enugu State, Dr Peter Mbah, has congratulated Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, on his inauguration as the 32nd President of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), describing him as a perfect fit for the role.
Mbah, who is also a senior lawyer, urged Mazi Osigwe to apply his extensive knowledge and experience to tackle the challenges facing legal practice and the justice sector as a whole.
In a statement released on Friday, Mbah said, “I join the NBA and other well-meaning Nigerians in congratulating Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, on his inauguration as the 32nd President of the NBA.
“As a member of the inner Bar, former Secretary-General of the NBA, Chairman of the Unity Bar, and a distinguished legal practitioner, Mazi Osigwe is well-suited for the office to which he has been overwhelmingly elected.
“Additionally, as a candidate, he presented a comprehensive plan for advancing the legal profession and the justice sector that received strong support from members. Thus, I am confident he will lead a proactive Bar that provides solutions and benefits to legal practitioners and the justice sector overall.
