The International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) Nigeria joins voices from across the globe in celebrating an extraordinary woman and transformative leader — Ezinwa N. Okoroafor, FIDA International President — as she marks her birthday today, July 22nd.
A woman of grace, strength, and global influence, Madam President has long stood at the forefront of legal advocacy, championing the rights of women and children with unwavering resolve. Her journey reflects the power of vision, the courage to challenge injustice, and the will to create lasting impact across borders.
Renowned for her clarity of thought, passion for equity, and calm but compelling presence, Ezinwa N. Okoroafor continues to set a remarkable standard for leadership within the legal profession and beyond. Her global work with FIDA International has expanded access to justice for vulnerable populations and fostered unity among women lawyers across continents.
In a statement issued today, FIDA Nigeria extolled Madam President’s remarkable legacy:
“You are not only a legal luminary but a woman of purpose whose leadership lights the path for others. Today, we honour your brilliance, humility, and the quiet power with which you move mountains.”
Quoting Maya Angelou, the statement reflected:
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
And indeed, Madam President, through your warmth and wisdom, you have touched lives far and wide.
As the world celebrates this new chapter of your life, we echo the words of Michelle Obama:
“There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish.”
And through your journey, you have proven this truth time and again.
We at FIDA Nigeria are proud to walk beside you — learning, growing, and serving with courage — inspired by the integrity and distinction you represent.
May this year bring you deeper joy, boundless grace, and renewed strength to continue your extraordinary service to humanity. Happy Birthday, Madam President!
