It gives me great joy to celebrate the distinguished members of the Eastern Bar Forum as you gather today in the beautiful city of Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
This assembly reflects the strength, unity, and shared vision that continue to define the Forum.
Your commitment to the growth of our profession and the advancement of justice inspires confidence in the future of the Bar.
I encourage you to keep building bridges, sharing ideas, and working together to uphold the values that bind us.

I wish you a successful and impactful meeting, with outcomes that will benefit both the profession and the society we serve.
