CJN Ariwoola to swear in Falana’s wife, 56 others as SANs November 27
The Supreme Court of Nigeria will swear in 57 new Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) on Monday, November 27, 2023, including Mrs Funmi Falana, the wife of popular human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN).
The Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court, Hajo Bello, said in a statement on Thursday that the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee (LPPC), under the Chairmanship of Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, approved the elevation of the 58 lawyers.
Bello also said that the Committee considered four petitions written against some of the applicants and dismissed them for lack of merit.
The new SANs will be sworn in by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Ariwoola, at a ceremony to be held at the Supreme Court Complex in Abuja.
“The rank of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) is awarded as a mark of excellence to members of the legal profession who have distinguished themselves as advocates and academics,” Bello said.
“The meeting further considered four (4) different petitions written against some of the applicants and determined that each of petition lacked merit and thus dismissed.”
