ISAAC OGBAH FELICITATES WITH NEW NBA IBADAN CHAIR, ASSURES PROGRESS

ISAAC OGBAH FELICITATES WITH THE IBADAN BRANCH ON ITS AGM AND HANDING OVER CEREMONY, CONGRATULATES MRS. FOLASHADE BOSEDE ALADENIYI FOR RECORD BREAKING EMERGENCE AS THE FIRST FEMALE CHAIRMAN OF THE BRANCH

Mr. Isaac Omuta Ogbah, an aspirant for the post of 3rd Vice President of the Nigerian Bar Association(NBA) heartily congratulates the entire members and outgoing executives of Ibadan Branch of the NBA ably led by Mr. Olayinka Abiodun Esan, for the success of its Annual General Meeting held on 27th June, 2022 at the Afe Babalola (SAN) Bar Center, Iyanganku, Ibadan, Oyo State.

He commended the outgoing executives for the laudable achievements recorded during their time.

The NBA Ibadan Branch is one of the oldest and foremost branches in the country. Its members at various times are leaving and have left their indelible marks on the sands of time in advancing legal practice across Nigeria and beyond.

He also extols the courage and persistency of Mrs. Folashade Bosede Aladeniyi who emerged as the 34th Chairman and first-ever lady to emerge as the helmsman – or better still if the English grammar will indulge one “helmswoman” – to pilot the affairs of the branch from 2022 to 2024.

She is an astute legal practitioner who has proven her mettle in the legal landscape with unblemished record. It goes beyond doubt that her tenure will lead Ibadan branch to enviable heights following in the footsteps of those who have occupied the office before her. With foreseeable cooperation of other executive members, and the entire members of the branch, one does not need a crystal ball to know that the next two years will be momentous in the history of the branch.

Congratulations!

ISAAC OMUTA OGBAH, FICMC

Pioneer Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association Section on Public Interest and Development Law (NBA-SPIDEL), Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama SAN will today deliver the Keynote Address at the Opening Ceremony of the NBA Ibadan Branch Annual Law Week.

According to a press statement made available to CITY LAWYER, Gadzama, a chartered arbitrator, will speak to the theme of the Law Week, “Unity in diversity and sustainable security in Nigeria: Any role for the law?”

Said the statement: “As part of the activities scheduled for the Law Week, the opening ceremony would commence tomorrow Tuesday, 7th December, 2021. To this end, a son of the soil in person of Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama, OFR, MFR, SAN, has been invited to deliver a keynote address at the event.

“The devout bar man and pioneer Chairman of NBA-SPIDEL, Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama, SAN has maintained good ties with the people of Ibadan both as lawyer and golfer. Gadzama, who also happens to be a patron of the Ibadan Golf Club, occasionally enjoys the sport with friends and colleagues at the Tiger Golf Club and IITA Golf Club in Ibadan. He has and continues to show his undying loyalty and support to the Ibadan Bar. Little wonder, one of his Partners and Head of Lagos Office, Oluniyi Adediji, Esq., ACTI, hails from Ibadan, Oyo State.”

Meanwhile, the leading litigator was one of the special guests at the 2021 Annual Dinner of the Abuja Branch of Christian Lawyers Fellowship of Nigeria (CLASFON) hosted in honour of Justice Peter Oyinkenimiemi Affen of the Court of Appeal.

In his goodwill message, Gadzama, a veteran Clasfonite, lauded the leadership of Abuja Branch of CLASFON for the dinner and the “continual succor” given to the Bar in the place of prayer and admonition. He urged the association to “continue in the spirit of commitment and fellowship to pray for the betterment of the legal profession in Nigeria.”

Gadzama emphasized the importance of the independence of the Judiciary and extolled the “dexterity and unwavering sincerity and transparency of Hon. Justice P. O. Affen.” He urged the jurist “to keep up with the good work.”

In a similar vein, Gadzama who is also the Chairman of the Mentorship Committee of the Body of Benchers (BOB), recently hosted NBA President, Mr. Olumide Akpata and other guests at his residence after his 60th Birthday Thanksgiving service held at the Church of the Brethren Nigeria (EYN).

The event witnessed presentation of birthday gifts to Gadzama by the guests who extolled his good deeds and leadership qualities. These included gifts from the University of Maiduguri Alumni Association led by Mrs. Afiniki Hananiya, the Legal team of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) led by Prof. Joash Amopitan SAN, as well as the staff of J-K Gadzama LLP led by Mohammed Monguno, a former Attorney General of Borno State.

Aside from Akpata, other dignitaries at the barbecue/lunch were Oba A. O. Aladelusi Odundun II, the Deji of Akure and his wife; Alfred Dimas Gadzama, the Garkuwa of Uba Emirates; K. T. Turaki SAN, former federal Minister; Alhaji Garba Gajam, former Nigerian Ambassador to State of Kuwait and Kingdom of Bahrain; Chief Emeka Ngige SAN, Chairman of the Council of Legal Education, and Mr. Mela Nunghe SAN and his wife.
