The former Chairman, Mentoring Committee of the Body of Benchers, Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama, SAN, has felicitated with the newly called lawyers to the Nigerian Bar, widely known as new wigs.
In a statement of goodwill, the respected Senior Advocate described their call to the Bar as a landmark achievement that reflects years of diligence, sacrifice, and resilience. He noted that the milestone is not only a personal triumph for each new lawyer but also the beginning of a sacred responsibility within the legal profession.
Chief Gadzama emphasized that the profession is built on honour, discipline, and integrity, urging the new wigs to embrace these values as guiding principles.
He further admonished them to take the Rules of Professional Conduct for Legal Practitioners as their hymn book, stressing that the document should guide every step they take in practice. He further stressed that adherence to professional ethics is the true measure of excellence at the Bar.
“Success at the Bar is not measured by flamboyance or fleeting triumphs but by consistency in learning, humility in service, and an unwavering commitment to justice. Never compromise the values of honesty and diligence, for they are the pillars upon which lasting legacies are built,” he stated.
He encouraged the new wigs to seek mentorship and wise counsel and reminded them that the road ahead will be demanding but ultimately rewarding for those who persevere.
He concluded his message by congratulating the new entrants to the Bar once again and welcoming them into the honourable family of the legal profession.
