The management and staff of Alliance Law Firm on Saturday 8th of October 2022 hosted a large gathering of friends, clients, senior lawyers and family members in a triple celebration.
The law firm celebrated its 20th year anniversary, the founder’s silver jubilee and the fourth edition of its annual lecture series.
In his welcome address, the Managing Partner of the firm, Uche Val Obi SAN, expressed his delight in seeing everyone who turned up to celebrate these occasions with them.
He said that it was while planning for the annual lecture that it was agreed that since the date for celebrating the other two were close it will be wiser to join them together and have one mega celebration.
Uche Val Obi SAN, went down memory lane and recalled the first lecture which took place in 2017, and lamented the no lecture of 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID pandemic
He also said that the choice of this year’s lecture title “Developing Nigeria Through Philanthropy” could not have come at a better time considering the current situation where the country’s citizens are gradually falling away due to the state of our economy.
He called on wealthy Nigerians to help as many people as possible because it leads to further development.
Chairman of the occasion and chairman of construction giant Julius Berger Mr Mutiu Sunmonu in his own speech commended the staff and management of the firm for their courage to pursue excellence over the twenty years of their existence while also congratulating and praying for Mr Obi SAN and his wife.
The guest lecturer Dr Ernest Azudialu – Obiejesi, recalled his childhood days as the son of a truck pusher, who by hard work is now in a position to help people.
Speaking under the title ‘Developing Nigeria Through Philanthropy’. The engineer/businessman said he is always moved by the sight of school-age children who are out of school, hence his reasons for building the school in Okija, Dr Obiejesi said that his love for being a philanthropist comes from his heart, and he called on the wealthy to help people because they will be blessed too.
Highlights of the celebration include the presentation of awards to the longest-serving staff and top clients who have been with Alliance Law Firm all these years.
