It gives me profound joy to extend my heartfelt goodwill to the leadership and members of the Nigerian Bar Association Lawyers with Disabilities Forum (LWDF) on the occasion of this significant Annual Conference taking place here in Asaba, Delta State.
The theme, “Beyond Triumphs: Advancing Inclusion, Impact and Leadership for Persons with Disabilities,” resonates deeply with the ideals of courage, progress, and transformative leadership. It is a timely reminder that true advancement is not merely in overcoming challenges, but in our collective ability to redesign systems, dismantle barriers, and create equitable spaces where every lawyer — regardless of ability — can contribute, lead, and flourish.
The LWDF continues to exemplify the very pillars of our noble profession: justice, fairness, and the inherent dignity of all persons. Your work challenges the Bar to recognize diversity as a reservoir of strength and to embrace leadership in its many powerful forms.
As you gather in Asaba, may your deliberations inspire concrete actions, deepen institutional commitment, and expand opportunities for meaningful participation and impact. This conference will catalyse conversations that lead to lasting change within the NBA and across society.
I congratulate the Forum on this purposeful, visionary convening and remain committed to supporting all efforts that advance inclusion and empower lawyers with disabilities.
Warm regards,
Prof. Foluke Dada-Lawanson
