A seasoned Legal Practitioner and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, High. Chief. Emeka Ozoani SAN, earlier today communicated to us his goodwill message for the new year.
The message which reads thus: Dear Learned Colleagues, as we step into the year 2025, it is my earnest wish that we attend 2025 with good health and optimism. As Promoters of the Rule of Law, and in course of discharging our professional duties we all witnessed some challenges but by our training as Legal Practitioners we were able to scale through. I want to use this medium to commend our steadfastness and uprightness: we were not deterred by the economic obstacles nor threats from any quarter(s).
The Legal Profession is most noble, and that is a fact that needs not much emphasis and as professionals we are the numero uno in the defense of rule of law, the unpretentious and vocal voice of the vulnerable, the succour to hopeless and hapless in the society: the burden placed on us by the Country is more than we presume, it is on this premise that I salute you all. The year 2025 will certainly come with its ups and downs, but we can only seek the face of God almighty to have a blessed, and prosperous 2025.
Please accept my honest wishes.
High Chief Emeka Ozoani (SAN)
