On April 27, 2026, a remarkable celebration of purpose and impact took center stage as Henry Barnabas Ehi, MICA (Notary), Partner at Maxon & Prime Legal, extended warm birthday wishes to Zullaihat M. Ohiare, Chairman of the Young Lawyers Forum, NBA Garki Branch.
In his tribute, Henry recognized Zullaihat not just for marking another year but for redefining what celebration can truly represent.
At a time when the role of young lawyers continues to evolve, Zullaihat stands out as a young leader with the young lawyers community who embodies service, responsibility, and intentional impact.
Through her initiative, Empower 27, Zullaihat transformed her birthday into a platform for meaningful change. By supporting 27 individuals across key areas such as education, health, and capacity development, she demonstrated a rare blend of compassion, structure, and foresight. Her approach reflects a deeper understanding that impact is not accidental it is deliberate, measurable, and people-centered.
Henry noted that what makes this initiative particularly commendable is not just it’s scale, but the clarity of purpose behind it. In a profession often focused on advocacy within the courtroom, Zullaihat has extended her influence into the community, setting a powerful example for young lawyers across the country.
As Chairman of the Young Lawyers Forum in the Garki Branch, she continues to provide leadership that inspires, challenges, and uplifts others. Her actions reinforce the idea that leadership is not defined by title alone but by the ability to create opportunities and drive meaningful change.

Zullaihat’s story is a reminder that the future of the legal profession lies in individuals who are willing to go beyond tradition and actively shape society for the better.
