Meti M. Ukpeh, Esq., Uyo-based Human Rights Lawyer Felicitates CLASFON on Her 2024 National Conference


May I pour my warmest regards and best wishes to the Christian Lawyers Association of Nigeria on the occasion of her National Conference.

As professionals guided by our Christian faith, we play a vital role in upholding the rule of law, advocating for justice, and serving our communities. Your annual conference provides an invaluable opportunity to come together, share knowledge, and strengthen the ethical foundations of our profession.

Truly and highly comforting is the fact that this year’s theme: *’The Lord is Our Saviour’,* is both timely and important. In a world that often prioritizes self-interest over compassion, we are called to be beacons of integrity, champions of the vulnerable, and promoters of peace. I commend your dedication to these noble pursuits.

May this conference be a time of fruitful dialogue, meaningful fellowship, and spiritual renewal. May the discussions and insights gained here empower you to continue your invaluable work with renewed vigor and purpose.

To the organizers, resource persons, and all in attendance, I wish you a truly blessed and productive conference. May God’s grace and wisdom guide your deliberations and actions.

Akwa Ibom Customary Courts: Who will Save Our District Court Chairmen? By ~ Meti M. Ukpeh, Esq. [Uyo-based Human Rights Lawyer ] In Nigeria, beyond the Superior Courts of record recognized by the Constitution of Nigeria(as amended), there exist several other layers of courts, most of which exist by dint of the laws of the various states. In this class are the Customary Courts, Magistrates Courts, the Area Courts, among others.  In Akwa Ibom State, the Customary Courts occupy the immediate layer after the Customary Court of Appeal (though yet to be established), which explains why appeals from the Customary Courts go to the High Courts(S.67, CCL,2022).The Customary Court is the closest court to the grassroots(S.1, 14, and 18, CCL.)
