The Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee has elevated 72 lawyers to the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN.
The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, is expected to swear in the new Senior Advocates during an inauguration ceremony to be held on December 8 at the Supreme Court premises in Abuja.
In Nigeria, the SAN is awarded as a mark of excellence to members of the legal profession who have distinguished themselves as advocates and academics.
