The management and staff members of Alliance Law Firm on Saturday 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, Mr Uche Obi, SAN, expressed his delight 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 events were close, it would be wiser to consolidate them and have one mega celebration.
Mr Obi, SAN, went down memory lane and recalled the first lecture which took place in 2017.
He, however, lamented the inability to hold the 2020 and 2021 lectures 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 by the way due to the state of the 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 speech commended the staff members 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, recalls his childhood days as the son of a truck pusher, who by sheer hard work is now in a position to help people.
Speaking on the title ‘Developing Nigeria Through Philanthropy”, the engineer/businessman said he was always moved by the sight of school age children who were out of school, hence his reasons for building the school in okija.
Dr Obiejesi said that his love for being a philanthropist came from the heart, and he called on the wealthy to help people because they would be blessed too.
Highlights of the celebration included the presentation of awards to the longest serving staff nember and top clients who have been with Alliance Law Firm all these years.
