    The Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee, under the leadership of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola, has elevated 87 legal practitioners to the prestigious rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria.

    The announcement was made during the LPPC’s 164th plenary session, held on Thursday.

    This elevation is a significant honour in the Nigerian legal profession, awarded to distinguished lawyers who have shown exceptional skill and dedication, both as advocates and academics.

    The Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and Secretary of the LPPC, Hajo Sarki Bello, made the announcement, emphasising the high standards met by the new appointees.

    “The rank of SAN is not just a title; it is a mark of excellence, a recognition of outstanding contributions to the legal field,” said Bello.

    “These 87 individuals have demonstrated remarkable expertise and dedication, making them worthy of this prestigious honour.”

    He added that the LPPC reviewed five petitions against some of the applicants, but found them lacking in merit and subsequently dismissed them.

    “The Committee thoroughly investigated these petitions and determined that they did not substantiate any claims that would disqualify the applicants,” Bello explained.

    The swearing-in ceremony for the new SANs is scheduled for Monday, 30 September 2024.

    The list of honourees includes 86 advocates and one academic. Among the advocate appointees, listed in order of seniority at the bar, are:
