The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) extends its warmest congratulations to Ezinwa Nwanyieze Okoroafor on her historic Election as the International President of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) at its 38th triennial convention in Cali, Colombia.

Ezinwa’s Election to this esteemed position not only acknowledges her steadfast commitment to advancing the rights of women and children but also highlights her deep understanding of the complex issues affecting vulnerable populations globally. This Election speaks volumes of her credibility and dedication to fostering meaningful, sustainable change within and beyond the legal profession.

We are confident that she will bring her exceptional expertise, compassion, and resolute pursuit of justice to steer FIDA’s mission with fresh purpose. Her leadership comes at a time when the world is increasingly attuned to the importance of protecting women and children, and we believe she is uniquely equipped to galvanize FIDA’s global membership toward achieving even greater impact.

The NBA looks forward to supporting her initiatives and advancing our shared goal of a legal profession that defends human dignity and promotes the rule of law. We celebrate this milestone achievement and anticipate that her presidency will usher in an era of strengthened advocacy, unity, and progress for FIDA worldwide.

Congratulations!
