The Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee (LPPC) has approved the elevation of 57 legal practitioners to the prestigious rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN).

At its 169th plenary session held in Abuja, the LPPC, under the distinguished Chairmanship of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, approved the elevation of 56 advocate appointees and a single candidate under the academic category.

Only two female legal practitioners were conferred with the rank this year; they are the Chairman of the NBA 2024 Annual General Conference Planning Committee, Mrs. Oyinkan Badejo-Okusanya and Mrs. Chinyere Ekene Moneme.

Others on the list include the Attorney-General of Abia State and former Chairman of the NBA Lagos branch, Ikechukwu Uwanna, the immediate-past Attorney-General of Nassarawa State and now Secretary to the State Government, Labaran Magaji, as well as the Attorney-General of Osun State, Oluwole Jimi-Bada.

The single academic appointee on the list this year is Prof. Chima Ubanyionwu.

Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun will swear-in the 57 SANs on Monday, 29th September, 2025.

The rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria is conferred as a mark of professional excellence upon legal practitioners who have demonstrated exceptional distinction either as advocates in the courts or as academics contributing significantly to the development of legal scholarship.

“The rank of the Senior Advocate of Nigeria is conferred as a mark of professional excellence upon legal practitioners who have demonstrated exceptional distinction either as advocates in the courts or as academics contributing significantly to the development of legal scholarship.

“During the session, the Committee also considered three (3) petitions submitted against certain applicants. 

“Upon thorough review, each petition was found to be lacking in merit and was accordingly dismissed,” the committee said in a statement.
