Gov. Mbah congratulates new NBA president Osigwe
Gov. Peter Mbah of Enugu has congratulated Mazi Osigwe, SAN, on his inauguration as the 32nd president of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA).
The congratulatory message is contained in a statement released by his media team on Friday in Enugu.
The governor described Mr Osigwe as an accomplished lawyer.
Mr Mbah, who is also a senior lawyer, charged Mr Osigwe to bring his wealth of knowledge and experience to bear on the task of addressing the challenges facing legal practice and the justice sector in general.
“As a member of the inner Bar, a former secretary-general of the NBA, chairman of the Unity Bar, and a consummate legal practitioner who has distinguished himself in his calling, Mazi Osigwe is purpose-built for the office he was overwhelmingly elected to occupy.
“Also, as a candidate, he articulated a blueprint for the advancement of the legal profession and the justice sector that enjoyed the buy-in of members.
“Therefore, I trust him to lead a proactive Bar that delivers solutions and benefits to legal practitioners and the justice sector in general.
“On behalf of the government and the good people of Enugu state, I wish him the best as he undertakes this onerous task,” Mr Mbah said.
He, however, urged members of the Bar and Nigerians to accord the new NBA president total support and cooperation to succeed.
