I CELEBRATE THE MAIDEN ANNUAL LECTURE AND AWARDS OF THE LATE DR. MUDIAGA ODJE SAN, OFR. | Onoriode William Ewenode Esq.


I wish to express my total support for the maiden Annual Lecture And Award Series of late Dr. Mudiaga Odje SAN, OFR, billed to hold on Saturday, 6th August 2022 at Peemos Place, Warri.

Late Dr. Mudiaga Odje SAN, OFR was a Colossus in the legal firmament that bestrode our legal space in his lifetime.

Dr. Mudiaga Odje SAN, OFR is a Sage. He is credited with many firsts in the Legal Profession. He was the first Senior Advocate of Nigeria from Delta State and the first President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) from 1974-1976. He was also a past Chairman of the prestigious Body of Benchers.

Before passing on in December 2005 at the ripe age of 83, his law practice was so rich that some of the landmark cases he participated in and won are now veritable sources in the Nigerian legal jurisprudence today.

Because the sage was well schooled, he ensured that all his children had the best education.

Ditto can be said of his very robust law practice that was bequeathed to his successors including Juniors that passed through his Law Office. Many of his Juniors have today carved a niche for themselves in the legal practice.

Though Dr. Mudiaga Odje SAN, OFR has passed on, his legacies still live on in our hearts.

He was a trailblazer in the practice of law, a Barman to the core, a fantastic family man, an avid reader and scholar, a Community Leader, and a true Urhobo son that we are proud of.

I wish all the attendees of the maiden Edition of the Dr. Mudiaga Odje SAN, OFR  Annual Lecture and Awards, a memorable stay in Warri and journey mercies.

ONORIODE WILLIAM EWENODE ESQ. 
Immediate Past NBA National Asst. Secretary, 
Pioneer Secretary,
NBA Effurun Branch.
