As the immediate past Chairperson of the Nigerian Bar Association Women Forum (NBAWF), I am deeply honored to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the newly appointed Executive Committee and Governing Council of the Forum. Their appointment marks the beginning of an exciting chapter, building on the strong foundation that has been laid in the past years.

Each member brings a wealth of experience, passion, and commitment to advancing the cause of female lawyers in Nigeria, and I have no doubt that they will continue to inspire and empower women across the legal profession.
I extend my best wishes to the new Chairperson, Huwaila Mohammed, who I know will lead with grace, wisdom, and a clear vision for the future. Alongside her, Delayo Oriekun, as the Alternate Chairperson, will bring valuable insight and support to the team.

Together, we have laid a solid foundation, and it is now their time to build upon it, taking the Forum to new heights.
I wish them every success in all their endeavors and look forward to witnessing their accomplishments as they lead the NBA Women Forum into an inspiring future. May their tenure be marked by unity, purpose, and positive impact on the legal profession.
