For me, it is a privilege and honor to wish Mr. Augustine Alegeh, SAN, Happy Birthday and many more returns.
I first met this great man in 2012 in Lokoja NEC meeting and since that day, it has been all rosy knowing him.
I am exceedingly excited that he will be joining the Diamond club on the 10th day of August 2024 when he will be marking his 60th birthday in good health and sound mind.
To God be the glory.
Augustine Alegeh SAN to me is a consummate bar man and a builder of young people. He cherishes friendship and is always ready to give a helping hand. With him, there is no dull moment, he always brings out the best from the people around him. He is a friend you cannot afford to miss.
He strikes you where you are wrong with the right hand and quickly corrects you or brings you home with the left hand. In a word, I can simply describe him as a worthy leader.
This great man’s contribution to the legal profession cannot be over emphasized. During his tenure as the NBA president, he took the Bar to the sky. He brought about so many innovations that Nigerian lawyers are still enjoying till date.
It was during his time that NBA eradicated fake lawyers by the introduction of stamps and seals. It became our law that Nigerian lawyers cannot file processes in our courts without affixing their NBA stamp. This innovation did not only eradicate fake lawyers but also brought about financial enhancement to our legal colleagues.
To some of us, he is the father of innovations in the Nigerian Bar Association. A special breed and a dependable ally.
As an association, we cannot be talking about NBA House without copiously discussing Mr. Augustine Alegeh SAN’s tenure. He is indeed a goal getter.
There is one striking quality of this great man; He is not afraid to speak the truth to any institution, powers or persons. As an Edo man, whenever he believes that something or an action is correct or is the truth, he can give everything to stand by it.
I thank God for sparing his life and bringing him to the Diamond age of 60. It can only be God. I pray that the Almighty will grant him many more years in good health and sound mind, increase his wisdom and finances and above all, love and happiness.
Once again, Happy Birthday to our own Austin Alegeh SAN, Past President of the NBA, the man with a golden heart.
Sabastine U. Anyia Esq
1st Vice President Elect.
