Congratulations my Leader and brother on your Elevation to the Rank Of Senior Advocate of Nigeria. 

To us you have been a SAN before now going by your numerous Landmark Cases in the various tiers of court some of which are recorded in reputable law reports and cited in Law journals. 

I still remember one of your laudable achievements is the pro bono brief you took from Enugu populace and indeed Ndi lgbo in 1991.

The case arose out of the closure of the Abakaliki dual carriage road in Enugu at 82 Division of the Nigerian Army section of the road. General Babangida was the then Military Head of State.

That was when Brigadier Sani Abacha was the Chief of Army Staff while Major General Mamman kontagora was the Minister of Works at the time . 

It was at then the height of Military despotism when you took the trio to court and demanded the re- opening of the public highway. Tagbo's legal struggle in front of the gate mounted by the Military, you emerged triumphant from this legal tussle with the gate thrown wide open for the use of the public till date.

My leader your conferment with the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria is the icing on the cake of your legal Practice.

It is a testament of your hard work, resilience, dedication and your contribution to the development of the law in Nigeria.

 I am happy to be called your political son, you have thought me so many things and I will still be your man.

Hon. Chukwuemeka kennedy Nnebe
