The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Sola Enikanolaiye, has congratulated Mr Adebayo Folorunsho Ologe on his elevation to the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, describing the achievement as a well-deserved recognition of professional excellence and dedication.
Ologe, who hails from Okunland in Kogi State, was among 68 legal practitioners sworn into the elite inner bar on Monday by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun.
In a goodwill statement issued through his Special Assistant on Media and Strategic Communications, Richard Elesho, the minister described the legal practitioner as a distinguished ambassador of Okunland and Kogi State whose ascension to the rank reflects years of diligent service in the legal profession.
Ambassador Enikanolaiye noted that the title of Senior Advocate of Nigeria serves both as a mark of distinction and a mandate for greater service to the nation, urging the new silk to maintain his commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s judicial system.
“It is often said that the reward for hard work is more work,” Enikanolaiye said. “Your appointment is a big commendation on one hand and a call to more work on the other. Don’t allow anything to distract you from discharging the enormous duties of your high office.”
The rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria is conferred on legal practitioners who have distinguished themselves as advocates and contributed significantly to the development of the country’s legal system.
