Legal Practitioner and lead partner at Ubiijus DLaw, Blessing Agbomhere Esq. has congratulated Mazi Afam Osigwe (SAN) following his election as the latest President of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA).

Reports say Osigwe, the former Secretary General of the NBA polled 20,435 votes to beat his closest contender, the Chairman of the NBA-Institute of Continuing Legal Education Governing Council, Tobenna Erojikwe, who scored 10,998 votes.

In a congratulatory message which he personally signed, Agbomhere described Osigwe’s election as a victory not just for himself but for the practice of law in Nigeria, adding that his tenure would usher in an era of progress, innovations and transparency in the operations of the NBA, while also urging all learned silks to give him all the support he needs to take the Association to greater heights.

Agbomhere also described Osigwe as a hard worker, astute lawyer and stickler to professionalism, who would go any length to ensure that the esteemed Association of learned minds does not derail in its statutory mandate, one of which is to ensure that the practise of law in Nigeria maintains a reputable standard and the promotion and protection of the principles of the Rule of Law and respect for Fundamental Human Rights.

While wishing Osigwe well in the course of his tenure, Agbomhere prayed God to give him the knowledge and wisdom to better steer the affairs of the NBA in the years ahead.
