Dear Colleagues,

As we stand at the threshold of Christmas, I am filled with immense gratitude for the boundless love and blessings that God has showered upon us. The gift of Jesus Christ reminds us of the transformative power of love, compassion, and selflessness.

This special season invites us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with our loved ones, friends, and colleagues. Let us cherish the triumphs we’ve achieved together as a Bar, and humbly learn from the challenges that have tested our resolve.

As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, may His teachings inspire us to recommit ourselves to the noble values of our profession: justice, empathy, and service to humanity. May our hearts be filled with compassion, kindness, and generosity.

On behalf of the Nigerian Bar Association, I wish you and your families a joyous, peaceful, and love-filled Christmas. May the New Year usher in renewed hope, greater opportunities, and immense progress for us all.

Merry Christmas!

Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN
President, Nigerian Bar Association
