Senator Saliu Mustapha inducted into NBA Roll of Honours
Senator Saliu Mustapha has been inducted into the Roll of Honours of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Ilorin Branch, in recognition of his contributions to governance, public service and the promotion of justice.
The induction took place on Saturday during a dinner organised in his honour by the association in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
Mr Mustapha, who represents Kwara Central Senatorial District, was admitted into the prestigious Roll of Honours, a distinguished list that includes former Kwara State Governor Muhammed Lawal, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, and the late former Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Abdulkareem Adisa.
Speaking at the event, the senator described the honour as humbling, noting that it placed on him a greater responsibility to continue supporting initiatives that strengthen the rule of law and justice delivery in Nigeria.
“This recognition by the Nigerian Bar Association is deeply humbling. To be inducted into a Roll that includes eminent Nigerians who served this country with distinction is both an honour and a call to greater service,” Mr Mustapha said.
He assured members of the Bar of his continued support for legal reforms, particularly laws aimed at improving access to justice and addressing national security challenges.
“I remain committed to supporting policies and legislations that enhance the administration of justice and promote peace and security across our country,” he added.
The senator also commended the Ilorin Branch of the NBA for what he described as its consistency and steadfastness in the pursuit of justice.
“The Ilorin Bar has distinguished itself through professionalism, courage and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law. I sincerely thank you for this rare honour,” he said.
Several senior lawyers and members of the legal profession attended the event, including Mallam Yusuf Ali, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN); Mrs Ronke Adeyemi; Mr K. K. Eleja, SAN; Mr AbdulRazak Gold, SAN; and Mr Taiye Oniyide, SAN, among others.
In their remarks, speakers at the event praised Mr Mustapha for his legislative contributions and his engagement with the legal community, describing his induction as well deserved.
