‘ISAAC OGBAH: A BRIDGE BUILDER WITH PASSION FOR SERVICE’

Isaac Ogbah; the Man, who loves to serve.

This is not mere rhetoric. Justified by nature, history is birthed daily by the activities of men. We may also put it this way: whatever we do today becomes that tale to be told thereafter.

Isaac Ogbah has records of service within and beyond the bar. His trajectory in qualitative and selfless service to the bar and the public in Otta ranges from leading public protests, providing bar leadership, sponsoring young individuals on worthy causes including law conferences, donating personal facilities for bar programs, to forging alliances with other professionals in Otta and environs to help people around him at moments of needs.

One cannot but openly declare that Mr. Ogbah’s passion for service has been upright and worthy of being trusted with more opportunities to serve. I add that he has never been tired of honouring the bar with his substance.

Let me share that I served as the chairperson of the YLF, Otta bar between the years 2018 and 2020. Isaac Ogbah was in service as the Chairman of the NBA Otta during the period mentioned above, and that was after he had served well in various capacities at the said branch. Mr. Ogbah’s commitment and delivery to the welfare of the young lawyers and smooth running of the YLF Otta was at the material time second to none. In particular, and cumulatively, his personal financial commitment towards our programs and training was above 55%.

Please be informed that history also has it that we served with diligence and ensured good training for young lawyers as well as enabled platforms for growth and development in the contemporary practice of law.

It is good to also inform you that Isaac Ogbah does not work alone, he is courageous and teachable, elders of the bar, who know him would attest that he has listening ears and he is always ready to collaborate for development.

I hope that Isaac Ogbah would be allowed to serve us as the next NBA 3rd Vice President. I urge us all to consider Mr. Ogbah. He is a bridge-builder and at the risk of repetition, I state that he has a genuine passion for serving others.

Thank you!
