I warmly and heartily felicitate with the Chairman, Asia Ahmad El-Rufai, members of the Governing Council and the members of the NBA Lawyers with Disability Forum on this very special occasion of hosting your maiden conference with the theme- *Lawyers with Disabilities in Nigeria: Realities, Challenges and Expectations.*
The theme of the conference is very apt as the time has come when this nation and the Bar in particular should be more involved in creating an enabling environment for the vulnerable people including persons living with disabilities in Nigeria.
Once again, I congratulate the Chairman, Asia Ahmad El-Rufai, Governing Council and members of the NBA Lawyers with Disability Forum for this maiden conference 2022.
