The Arochukwu Lawyers Association, also known as the Aro Bar, has elected new executives for the association.
The umbrella organization of lawyers from Arochukwu recently elected Barrister Oscar Chukwuma Okoro as the new president of the association.
Others officers also elected included: Dr NCE Njaka Esq (Vice Chairman; Kenneth Ogbonna Esq (Secretary); Adiele Nnenna Sandra Esq (Assistant Secretary); Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) CC Onwumere Esq (Treasurer); O.A. Torty Esq (Welfare Officer); Tochi Amah Esq (H/W); Onyi Jombo-Offor Esq ((Provost); and Publicity/Pro-Barr. Machie.
In his speech, the new president, Oscar Chukwuma Okoro, who saw his election as a call to higher responsibility, described the rebirth of the group as timely.
He said: “Distinguished Learned Justices, esteemed members of the Bench, Learned Seniors, Colleagues and gentlemen of the learned profession, I stand tall today to say that the rebirth of this body is timely, deserving and worthwhile. Lawyers stand out in the noble affairs of men. We are at this time called to serve you without personal interest or benefits but to see to the renaissance of this great assembly of great minds. At the risk of sounding immodest, we have been serving and filling this gap without waiting for legal imprimatur because we love you and love Aro.”
He also acknowledged that the group had experienced an undue setback for a period.
“For a reasonable period of time, the “Aro Bar” experienced undue lull and setback due to the death of our former Chairman, Mazi Ndionyema Nwankwo (Ugwu Aro).
“His tenure was memorable and left enduring legacies. We do heartily miss him. May his soul continue to rest.”
Barr Okoro called on all members to come together and work for the greater Aro Bar, and Arochukwu Kingdom:
“I call on you my learned colleagues to join us, to cheer and to chat the course of dynamic and vibrant Aro Bar in our bid to restore the integrity and glory of our Association and for sustainable growth and development of Aro kingdom.”
