BREAKING: CJN announce elevation of 87 lawyers to SAN rank (+FULL LIST)

In a notable advancement within Nigeria’s legal community, the Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee (LPPC), chaired by Chief Justice of Nigeria Olukayode Ariwoola, has announced the elevation of 87 legal practitioners to the prestigious rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN).

The announcement was made by Hajo Bello, Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court and Secretary of the LPPC, during a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, August 1, 2024. This recognition reflects the significant contributions and exceptional expertise of the newly appointed SANs in the field of law.

The SAN designation is a prestigious honour that recognizes outstanding legal professionals who have made notable contributions in advocacy and academia.

Among the distinguished individuals granted this title are Baba Dalah and Monday Ubani, two prominent figures in the legal field.

During its 164th plenary session, the LPPC also reviewed and dismissed five petitions challenging the qualifications of some applicants. The committee found these petitions to be without merit.

The formal swearing-in ceremony for the newly appointed SANs is scheduled for September 30.
