GOOD FRIDAY MESSAGE TO LAWYERS
From Emeka Obegolu, SAN, FCIArb, President, Abuja Chamber of Commerce & Industry
Dear Esteemed Learned Colleagues,
On this solemn Good Friday, we pause to reflect on the profound sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ — a day that symbolizes the ultimate act of love, mercy, and redemption. As legal practitioners, this sacred moment reminds us of the foundational principles that govern our noble profession: justice, compassion, service, and selflessness.
The crucifixion is not just a narrative of suffering, but a powerful testament to the triumph of righteousness over sin, and light over darkness. As Christ laid down His life for humanity, so too are we called, in our daily practice of law, to uphold the dignity of every person, defend the vulnerable, and pursue justice without fear or favour.

May this Good Friday inspire us to renew our commitment to integrity, equity, and ethical advocacy. May the spirit of sacrifice guide our professional conduct and strengthen our resolve to be instruments of peace and justice in our society.
I pray that this holy day brings you and your families reflection, healing, and hope, and that the message of the Cross renews your strength both in practice and in purpose.
Wishing you a blessed and reflective Good Friday.
Warm regards,
Emeka Obegolu, SAN, FCIArb, FCIMC
President, Abuja Chamber of Commerce & Industry
