Lawyers from Abakaliki in Ebonyi state who are based in various parts of Anambra state, under the auspices of the Anambra-based Abakaliki Lawyers’ Association, have praised the Federal Government of Nigeria for appointing Justice Obande Ogbuinya to the status of a Supreme Court Justice in accordance with the principles of Federal Character as provided under Section 14(2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended.

The Federal government, through the Judicial Service Commission and the National Judicial Council, NJC, nominated Justice Obande Ogbuinya as a Supreme Court Justice, along with other Appeal Court Justices, who were sworn in on February 26, 2024.

In a press statement issued yesterday in Onitsha, Anambra state, the Chairman of the Association, Barrister Victor C. Alo, stated that Justice Ogbuinya’s elevation was welcome news, as he had reached the pinnacle of the bench.

Alo described Justice Ogbuinya as a well known committed and dedicated man of proven integrity, who hails from Ohaukwu Local Government Area,Abakaliki in Ebonyi state.

He practised law in Anambra state with us and had a law firm on Oguta Road in Onitsha before being appointed to the Bench as a High Court Judge in 2002.

In 2010, he was promoted to Appeal Court Justice, and now he serves on the Supreme Court.

According to Alo, the entire Abakaliki lawyer community in Anambra state is very proud of him, and they are taking this opportunity to encourage him to remain steadfast, focused, and resolute in the administration of justice as a Justice of the Supreme Court.
