It is with profound joy that I felicitate with the EBF Governor-General in-waiting, His Excellency, Aniekan Akpan, the Governing Council, leaders and distinguished members of the Eastern Bar Forum on this occasion of the EBF QUARTERLY GENERAL MEETING, holding in the Garden City of Port Harcout, commencing today Friday the 18th through to Saturday the 19th of August, 2023.
As a formidable forum that painstakingly, and regularly brainstorm on issues affecting, not only the Forum, but also the Legal Profession as a whole, permit me, Distinguished Colleagues, to urge you to lead the Natio in the quest for a better Nigeria.
While seizing this opportunity to congratulate the incoming Governing Council of EBF, I also commend the leadership of NBA Port Harcourt, and all the other branches of NBA in Rivers State, for providing the enabling and convivial environment for hosting this all important meeting.
DR. MOBOLAJI OJIBARA
Chairman [2013 – 2015]
