The Clerk who felt honoured by the visit expressed delight that the visit was an open endorsement by women groups supporting the progress of their fellow women in leadership positions and public offices.
‘I welcome you all to my office. I feel honoured, and I am very proud of this Association. Your State lead has always kept me informed about the activities and progress of this noble forum. I will continue to align myself with female lawyers, particularly, this group”, IMHA Clerk stated.
Mrs Emeghara, while assuring the group of her assistance and continued support, accepted their request to be the Special Guest in the forthcoming Health Week workshop for female lawyers, scheduled to take place in the third week of June 2024.
Earlier in her address, the State lead of Nigerian Bar Association Women Forum, NBAWF, Chetachi Success Udeh, Esq, informed the Clerk that the purpose of the visit was to formally congratulate her for being the first substantive female Clerk of the Imo State House Of Assembly, “whose sterling leadership acumen has left an indelible mark on the annals of the State legislative history”.
The State lead disclosed that the Women forum, an arm of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, was established under the provisions of Eight Schedule of the NBA Constitution 2015 (As Amended) in 2021 and is led by an Executive Committee headed by Mrs Chinyere Okorocha, along with Committee Heads, State leads, Branch facilitators and Six esteemed council members, made up of eminent professional and legal luminaries.
While describing the Clerk’s exemplary leadership qualities as “one characterized by a rare blend of competence, compassion and commitment to excellence, and which have not only distinguished her in her role but have also served as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring female leaders across the legal community and indeed women in all other professions”, the State lead, Chetachi Success Udeh, Esq, highlighted some of the objectives of NBAWF to include :
