In the wake of the devastating flood situation in Maiduguri, Borno State, the Proactive Bar has swiftly mobilized a team to galvanize support for our colleagues affected by this calamity. Leading from the front, our esteemed President has made a generous donation to kickstart this critical fundraising process, and we have witnessed an outpouring of support from across the country.

Recognizing the urgent need, the President has also dispatched a team to Maiduguri to conduct on-the-ground impact assessments and provide immediate assistance. We can confirm that the flood has dealt a truly unfair hand to some of our colleagues, leaving them in a state of distress.

While Nigerians and Lawyers are renowned for their resilience, even we have our limits when faced with such overwhelming adversity. It is in these moments that our humanity shines the brightest, and we must come together to comfort, care for, and uplift those among us who are facing the darkest of times.

We commend the President for leading this noble effort, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the colleagues who have already contributed to this cause. Now, we humbly call upon all lawyers across the nation to answer this clarion call and lend a helping hand to our distressed peers. No contribution, big or small, will be overlooked, for every act of kindness can make a profound difference in the lives of those affected.

Our colleagues in Maiduguri have lost their homes, their livelihoods, and the very foundations upon which they built their lives. It is our duty, as members of the legal fraternity, to ensure that they are not left to face this calamity alone. Together, we can write our names in gold by providing the support, the solace, and the resilience they so desperately need.

We are confident that our colleagues across the country will respond to this appeal with open hearts and generous spirits. For in times of crisis, the true strength of our profession lies in our unwavering commitment to one another and our shared responsibility to uphold the principles of justice and compassion.
