Dear Colleagues,
Easter is a time of profound reflection, a season that speaks to the enduring power of sacrifice, renewal, and the triumph of hope over despair. It reminds us that even in the darkest of times, light prevails.
As a nation and as a profession, these values remain ever relevant. For us in the legal profession, Easter calls us to reaffirm our commitment to justice, truth, and service. It is a time to strengthen our resolve to uphold the rule of law, protect the vulnerable, and pursue equity without fear or favour.
I encourage us all to draw inspiration from the message of Easter, to be vessels of peace, unity, and compassion in our homes, workplaces, and society at large. Let us continue to build bridges where there are divides and offer courage where there is doubt.
May this season of renewal and hope bring you peace, joy, and spiritual rejuvenation. May the triumph of light over darkness, hope over despair, and life over death inspire us to be beacons of hope and justice in our society.
Happy Easter!•Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN.
