The Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Hon. Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, will confer the highly coveted rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria SAN on 72 senior

A statement by the Director of Media and Information of the court, Dr. Akande Festus, indicated that the conferment will hold at the main courtroom of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

The prevailing third wave of COVID-19 and the protracted strike embarked upon by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria early in the year, which largely slowed down the work of the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee was said to have informed the late conferment of the SAN rank for 2021. It will be recalled that out of the 159 legal practitioners that applied for the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria in the course of this year, 72 were successful at the end of the rigorous exercise. Out of this number, ten are academics while 62 are advocates.
