I take great pleasure in congratulating the leadership and members of my home branch of the Nigerian Bar Association, (NBA), Onitsha Branch on this auspicious occasion of your 2019 Law Week and Annual Dinner starting on the 11th to 13th of December, 2019.

The Onitsha Branch of the NBA is very dear to my heart, as it is not only my home branch, but has also nurtured and produced great leaders and erudite members of this noble profession who have left indelible marks in the sand of time.

Since her inception, the branch has been a melting pot for members of our noble profession and has played important roles enthroning the Rule of Law in our society, making it one, where peace and justice will truly reign and everyman, irrespective of tribe, religious belief or gender is given a pride of place.

On the occasion of our 2019 Law Week and Annual Dinner, I would wish us a fruitful and memorable event and the entire members of the Branch, success.

Congratulations.
