AMANDA ASAGBA LAUDS GWAGWALADA BAR ON 10TH ANNIVERSARY

It gives me great pleasure to felicitate with the Chairman, Mr. Emmanuel Tayo Ogunjide; Executive Committee, Leaders and entire members of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Gwagwalada Branch on your 10th anniversary celebration holding today in Abuja.

I have no doubt that the Branch has achieved significant milestones within this short but eventful 10-year period, and has positioned itself as one of the leading NBA branches to reckon with. This is no mean feat.

As you celebrate, I urge you to continue to build on the legacies of past Leaders of the branch and promote programmes that enhance the welfare of members and Nigerians at large.

Let me also congratulate the jurists and stakeholders who are today being installed as the Doyens of the Eagle Bar, namely Prof. Jam Agbonika, retired Hon. Justice Balami, and Prof. (Mrs.) Josephine Agbonika SAN. This is an uncommon honour and a validation of your mentoring and invaluable contributions to the growth of Gwagwalada Bar.

‘THANK YOU FOR ACCEPTING ME,’ AMANDA ASAGBA TELLS MIDWEST BAR FORUM

The Midwest Bar Forum has always been a beacon of hope and a rallying point for lawyers in the region. The Forum has been pivotal in pushing the frontiers of welfare schemes for its members.

‘I CELEBRATE OUR LAWYER-FATHERS TODAY,’ SAYS AMANDA ASAGBA

It gives me great pleasure to celebrate our fathers today. The occasion of Father’s Day presents us with a splendid opportunity to appreciate the God-ordained place of fathers in every family.

Fathers are known to be symbols of authority and discipline in our families and in the society at large. This is a huge task that must not be taken for granted.

It is expected that as lawyers, we should carry this role into the legal community by fostering discipline and eschewing any manner of misconduct.

We celebrate you all today and always.

Happy Father’s Day!

AMANDA ASAGBA EULOGIZES REINSTATED JUSTICE OLOYEDE

FEATURED

This is Light at the end of the tunnel. Thank God for vindicating Hon. Justice Olamide Oloyede.

With this Victory, it’s a new dawn for the Judiciary, as the light of judicial activism and radicalism has just been switched on. Welcome to a proactive and radical judicial activism!!!.

All hail Hon. Justice Olamide Oloyede!!! All hail the African Women Lawyers Association (AWLA).

Hon. Justice Olamide Oluyede doubled as AWLA Oyo and Osun State Coordinator, a fearless, bold and courageous Judge who damned the consequence to fight for the people of Osun.

She spoke truth to power. This is what a Judge should be, not government puppet.

We at AWLA are very proud of my Lord.

It is recalled that the National Judicial Council (NJC) recently reinstated the fiery jurist who was sacked for writing a petition against then Governor Rauf Aregbesola, now Minister for Internal Affairs.

I WISH ALL EASTERN BAR FORUM DELEGATES JOURNEY MERCIES – AMANDA ASAGBA

WISHING ALL EASTERN BAR FORUM DELEGATES JOURNEY MERCIES 

I wish to express my profound appreciation to His Excellency, the Governor of the Eastern Bar Forum and the entire members of the Forum for their warm reception at the last quarterly meeting of the Forum in Calabar.

I am especially thankful for the opportunity to speak to the esteemed audience, and for the focused and inspiring deliberations.

The theme of the meeting was quite thought-provoking. That the EBF encourages its members to take the lead in being the voice of the voiceless and to take deliberate action to checkmate impunity and injustice is very commendable. It is no longer safe to see evil and do nothing, as this is bound to consume even the unwary in the long run.

I wish all delegates and stakeholders journey mercies.

AMANDA ASAGBA COMMENDS NBA ILE-IFE BRANCH ON LAW WEEK

I rejoice with the Chairperson and Members of the Nigerian Bar Association, Ile Ife Branch on your 2022 Law Week.

The theme of your Law Week, “Exploring the Law as a Catalyst towards a truly Federal State” is very insightful and thought-provoking, especially in this season when centrifugal forces are tugging at the soul of the nation.

I am confident that resolutions from this epoch-making event will contribute immensely in forging the much-needed unity in our country. Ile-Ife, “The Source” remains a great bastion of modern civilization and knowledge that we are all proud of.

I wish you every success during the Law Week and beyond.

I felicitate with the Branch Chairman, Executive Committee, Planning Committee, Bar Leaders and all members of Kaduna Branch on your 2022 Law Week holding from 27th to 31st May, 2022.

I find the theme of the Law Week, “Expanding the Frontiers of Legal Practice” most apposite in an era when technology has completely disrupted the legal profession.

There is no gainsaying that lawyers who are able to tap into the emerging new trends and deepen their expertise are bound to be much-sought-after in the new era.

I urge you all to utilize the opportunities thrown up by the Law Week to enrich your knowledge in new areas of law and adequately prepare yourselves for the brave new world of law practice.

Congratulations!
