By Our Reporter
Former Attorney General and commissioner for Justice in Anambra state,Hon E D Chukwuma,has commission first class Cloakroom built by the Onitsha branch of the Nigeria Bar Association, NBA.
Chukwuma, one of the senior Lawyers in commercial city of Onitsha, praised the chairman of the Bar branch, Chief Afam Obi for having such vision.
While commissioning the project close to the Premier Bar Lounge and Gym on Wednesday, Chukwuma,said the idea was conceived in 2024, adding that opportunities to build such project had been there but ignored because of resources to prosecute it.
He described it as an unrivaled project in the history of Onitsha Bar, adding that they decided not to task people in building the projects that gulped millions of naira,but to shoulder the burden themselves.
Chukwuma said,”We decided to take lawyers out of the beer parlours in this area for life. So,any Lawyer who wants a private discussion with colleagues,has a place now to add anchor
“We critizise the government, ourselves and others in the public places without knowing those around, the reason, for these projects of the Premier Lounge, Gym and the Cloak room.
Speaking later about Chief Afam Obi, chairman of the NBA Onitsha branch, he said,”I have never seen a man with such faith like Afam Obi.
“But I want to be direct now in calling out some names that changed the narrative, people like Ada Udobi,an amazing woman,Ezennia Dr Onyechi Ikpeazu,SAN, Justice Pete Obiora,(JCA) who was once the Secretary of this branch also,among others” Chukwuma said
