The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, will on Monday, September 29, 2025, preside over the swearing-in ceremony of 57 new Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs).
The event, which will take place at the Supreme Court complex in Abuja, marks a significant moment in the country’s legal calendar and will officially elevate the newly appointed advocates to the prestigious rank of SAN.
The Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee (LPPC) had earlier announced the list of successful candidates after a rigorous screening and selection process that considered both academic contributions and professional excellence at the Bar.
With this year’s elevation, the number of lawyers admitted into the highly coveted inner Bar continues to grow, strengthening the tradition of excellence and integrity associated with the SAN rank.
According to court officials, the swearing-in ceremony will also form part of activities marking the 2025/2026 new legal year of the Supreme Court.
Justice Kekere-Ekun is expected to charge the new SANs on upholding the highest standards of the legal profession, emphasizing discipline, ethics, and their role as leaders of the Bar.
