This is contained in a statement made available to TheNigeriaLawyer (TNL) signed by Tobi Adebowale, the Chairman of the Governing Council of the Forum.
Read the full details below:
The Governing Council of the Nigerian Bar Association (“NBA”) Young Lawyers Forum (“YLF”) has received the magnanimous donation of the sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (N250,000.00) from Mr. Oyetola Muyiwa Atoyebi, SAN, towards providing support to young lawyers affected by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economy.
The YLF notes that as a result of the restriction of movement in the bid to contain the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, business operations and court sittings have been significantly scaled down if not completely suspended. Consequently, many young lawyers are faced with a significant decline in, if not a total loss of, income.
In addition to palliative measures announced by the NBA President, Mr. Paul Usoro, SAN, and various branches of the NBA, the YLF will disburse the sum received from the Learned Silk to Fifty (50) young lawyers in need of financial support.
The YLF is grateful to Mr. Oyetola Muyiwa Atoyebi, SAN for his sustained commitment to the welfare and development of young lawyers, as has been demonstrated by his act of compassion towards young lawyers in this period. Undoubtedly, the Learned Silk’s gesture is worthy of emulation and the YLF implores as many lawyers and organisations as are able to provide support to young lawyers in this period to continue to do so.
