LPPC Approves the Elevation of 58 Legal Practitioners to the Inner Bar
The legal practitioners privileges committee (LPPC) has approved the elevation of 58 legal practitioners to the rank of senior advocates.
The LPPC under the Chairmanship of the Chief justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Olukayode Ariwoola made decision at its 159th plenary session, held today in Abuja.
According to a statement by the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court and LPPC Secretary, Hajo Bello, the rank of the 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 LPPC considered four petitions against some applicants but found no merit in them, dismissing the petitions.
The swearing in ceremony will take place on the 27th November, 2023.
The 58 newly appointed SANs comprise 57 legal practitioners and one academic, Professor Babatunde Adetunji Oni.
