AWKA | June 2025 — I extend my warmest congratulations to Raphael Anagor, Esq. and the newly elected Executive Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association, Awka Branch, on their recent emergence as leaders of one of the Bar’s most distinguished branches.
Your election is a clear affirmation of the trust and confidence reposed in you by your colleagues — a recognition of your dedication, integrity, and commitment to advancing the ideals of the legal profession.
As the new executives take on the mantle of leadership, I am confident that their tenure will be marked by unity, progressive vision, and an unwavering commitment to justice and the rule of law.
The Awka Branch holds a special place in the architecture of the Nigerian Bar, and I have no doubt that under this new leadership, its voice will continue to resonate with strength and purpose.

It is my earnest hope that this new administration will build on the solid foundations of past leadership while charting new paths that inspire growth, mentorship, and active participation across all levels of the profession.
Wishing the Chairman and his team a successful and impactful term of service.
Warm regards,
Prof. Foluke Dada-Lawanson
