Dear Distinguished Learned Silks , Noble Benchers ,Elders and Colleagues .

It is with great pleasure and privilege that I give this maiden Christmas message to you all as adored Members of the Midwest Bar Forum .
Christmas presents to us an avenue to retrospect, reminisce, and take stock of our activities in the past while thanking God for the gift of life .I wish all and sundry , a very merry Christmas and a prosperous new year with expectations of many great things to come out way. I thank each and everyone for your roles in the recently concluded elections of the Midwest Bar Forum in Asaba that produced my humble self and others as Officials of the Forum .I extend a very warm hand of fellowship to all our colleagues in the Midwest in order to ensure a United and fortified Midwest Bar that speaks and acts with one voice..The National Elections are by the corner and it will be most expedient for us to have a United front and present a common agenda in the complex millieu of National Bar Elections to sustain our noble successes so far.

I pray that 2023 shall bring new vistas for all our members and present an opportunity for a new beginning in the positive light, for all that we do and intend to do in the years ahead. I thank and wish you all the best of the festivities in a season that ushers in and harps of love, forgiveness,unity and positive aspirations. May God bless and protect you all .

Signed :

Chief George Chiedu Igbokwe SAN , FCIArb.
Chairman,
Midwest Bar Forum.
