The President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mr. Yakubu Chonoko Maikyau, OON, SAN, has congratulated all the advocates and the sole academic who were confirmed for elevation as Senior Advocates of Nigeria by the Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee (LPPC) on 12 October, 2023.

Mr. Maikyau has also commended the LPPC under the chairmanship of the Honourable Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, GCON for the thorough and painstaking consideration of all applications and determination of the successful applicants for the year 2003.

The NBA President noted that the SAN rank is a continuous reminder to every Legal Practitioner that hardwork and diligence are rewarding, even as he urged the SAN-designates to now consider themselves as leaders of the legal profession and recognise the heavy expectations that the profession and the society now have of them.
