The Legal Practitioners' Privileges Committee (LPPC) has
elevated 58 lawyers to the rank of senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN).
In a statement on Thursday, Hajo Bello, chief registrar of
the supreme court, said the promotion of the 58 lawyers was approved at the
159th plenary session of the committee chaired by Olukayode Ariwoola, chief
justice of Nigeria (CJN).
"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," the statement reads.
The chief registrar also said four petitions against some of the applicants were considered during the meeting.
He, however, said each of the petitions lacked merit and was
dismissed.
Bello said the swearing-in ceremony of the successful
applicants will be held on November 27.
Kayode Ajulo, a human rights activist; Funmi Falana, wife of
Femi Falana and Folashade Alli, daughter of Afe Babalola and Adeola Adedipe, a
constitutional lawyer, are among the lawyers who are elevated to the rank of
SAN.
