He is a well-respected legal practitioner, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, who has reached the peak of his career.

He continued:“He is not going there to impress anybody but to serve the Bar and the state. Though a radical, he is accomplished and I see his appointment a wonderful development for the state. I commend him for accepting the appointment.

Nwakaetti also commended the Governor for appointing Nnawuchi as Attorney-General, and assured that he will do the right thing. “I also commend the Governor, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, for being lawyer-friendly.

“He has done well for the lawyers in all the appointments made so far. The world over, lawyers have been in the forefront of leadership and transformation of their countries and Nigeria will not be an exception.”

Nnawuchi’s practice has spanned over 34 years, having been called to Bar in 1984.
