Kelechukwu Uzoka or KC as he is fondly known to his friends and family is an astute and compassionate person. He has demonstrated a genuine commitment to advancement of the legal practice by implementing tech into NBA events. He genuinely cares about welfare and exploring new areas of legal practice such as sports and blockchain law. I’m proud to support his bid to run as secretary. Please throw your full weight behind him.
