The Citizens Liberties Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) National has extended hearty congratulations to the newly called lawyers, describing their entry into the legal profession as a remarkable triumph of dedication, perseverance, and the unyielding pursuit of justice.
In a statement signed by Nuhu J. Egya, Chairman of the Committee, the new wigs were hailed as the torchbearers of justice and the future of the legal profession in Nigeria.
“This milestone is not just a personal victory,” Egya noted, “it is a testament to your resilience, your sacrifice, and your firm belief in the ideals of justice.
As you take your place at the Bar, we encourage you to uphold the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, and service to humanity.”
He emphasized that the legal profession demands more than legal knowledge—it requires courage, moral character, and a deep commitment to the rule of law.
“Let your wig remind you of justice, your gown remind you of honour, and your voice be a tool for the voiceless.”
“You are the answer to tomorrow’s legal challenges—walk boldly, argue wisely, and serve selflessly.”
“This is not the end of your journey, but the beginning of a legacy.”
The Committee concluded by expressing optimism in the role the new wigs will play in shaping a more just and equitable Nigeria.
Welcome to the Bar!
