The Nigerian Bar Association, Jalingo Branch, has congratulated Mrs Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, SAN, on her election as the 33rd National President of the association, describing her emergence as a demonstration of hope for a bold and progressive Bar.
The branch said her victory reflected the confidence reposed in her vision of inclusive leadership, accountability, courage and improved welfare for legal practitioners.
In a statement made available to journalists on Sunday, the Chairman of the Jalingo Branch, Dr Daniel Philemon Saredau, expressed optimism that the incoming administration would strengthen the welfare of lawyers, deepen access to justice and promote unity within the association.
He also assured the President-elect of the branch’s commitment to supporting her leadership in advancing the ideals of the NBA.
Saredau said, “Madam President, your election as the 33rd President of the Nigerian Bar Association is a strong endorsement of your vision of a Bold Bar.
“Your message of inclusivity, accountable leadership, courage and lawyers’ welfare clearly resonated with members of the Association, who have now entrusted you with the responsibility of steering the affairs of our noble profession for the next two years.”
The Jalingo NBA chairman said the branch was particularly encouraged by Badejo-Okusanya’s pledge to build an association where lawyers could earn better, live better and practise better.
“That aspiration speaks directly to the realities of many practitioners and reflects the kind of purposeful leadership the Association needs at this time,” he said.
Saredau added that the branch was confident her administration would improve lawyers’ professional welfare, expand access to justice and drive institutional renewal within the NBA.
“We wish to assure you that the Jalingo Branch stands ready to support your leadership in advancing the ideals of the NBA and in consolidating a more responsive, vibrant and forward-looking Association,” he added.
