President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Afam Osigwe, has urged Nigerian lawyers to cherish the gains of the profession over the years as the world celebrates Christmas.

Mr Osigwe said this in a Christmas message on Wednesday.

He noted that the Christmas season invited us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with our loved ones, friends, and colleagues.

He urged lawyers to focus on their gains and triumphs over the years and thrive in love for a better society.

The NBA president said, “As we stand at the threshold of Christmas, I am filled with immense gratitude for the boundless love and blessings that God has showered upon us.

“The gift of Jesus Christ reminds us of the transformative power of love, compassion, and selflessness. This special season invites us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with our loved ones, friends, and colleagues.”

Mr Osigwe urged the lawyers to “cherish the triumphs we’ve achieved together as a Bar and humbly learn from the challenges that have tested our resolve.”

He added, “On behalf of the Nigerian Bar Association, I wish you and your families a joyous, peaceful, and love-filled Christmas.

“May the New Year usher in renewed hope, greater opportunities, and immense progress for us all.”
