CJN is set to swear in Funmi Falana and 57 others as SANs

 

Glamtush reports that the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, will swear Funmi Falana and 58 other lawyers as Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) on Monday, November 27.

Funmi, a women’s and children’s rights activist, is the wife of popular human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN).

In a statement Thursday, the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court, Hajo Bello, said the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee (LPPC) under the Chairmanship of Justice Ariwoola approved the elevation of the 58 lawyers.

Bello said, “The swearing-in ceremony of the 58 successful applicants is scheduled to take place on Monday, the 27th day of November 2023.”

He said the approval is sequel to the Committee’s 159th Plenary session which was held in Abuja on Thursday.

 

“The rank of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) is awarded as a mark of excellence to members of the legal profession who have distinguished themselves as advocates and academics,” Bello said.

“The meeting further considered four (4) different petitions written against some of the applicants and determined that each of petition lacked merit and thus dismissed.”
