BUSINESS MEETING & FIDA@60 MAGAZINE UNVEILING

At the heart of every impactful organization lies the courage to reflect, re-evaluate, and reimagine. This spirit defined the National Executive Council (NEC) Business Meeting of FIDA Nigeria, held in the vibrant city of Port Harcourt.
With delegates and national officers gathered from across the federation, this was more than a routine convening. It was a moment of reckoning, strategy, and collective visioning. Reports weren’t just presented; they told stories. Stories of relentless advocacy, transformative programming, financial transparency, and the unwavering dedication of our Secretariat. From the Country Vice President’s reflections to updates from the Programmes, Finance, and Secretariat teams, each report illuminated where FIDA Nigeria stands and the bold path ahead.
A major highlight of the gathering was the unveiling of the FIDA@60 Commemorative Magazine. A visually rich, thoughtfully curated publication chronicling six remarkable decades of FIDA Nigeria. It captures the voices of pioneers, the milestones that defined each era, and the shared commitment that continues to drive the association forward.
The planning of the FIDA@60 celebration, an event marked by beauty, elegance, and deep reflection, was ably steered by Chief (Mrs.) Victoria Awomolo, SAN, who also graced the unveiling ceremony with her distinguished presence. Under the visionary leadership of our immediate past Country Vice President, Mrs. Amina Agbaje, and her dynamic team, the celebration was a resounding success. It honoured our journey, our growth, and our future.
We pay special tribute to all our past FIDA leaders, Emerita Presidents and former officers, who laid formidable structures, nurtured the vision, and left lasting legacies. Their impact is etched into the very fabric of this organization.
As members flipped through the pages of the commemorative magazine, it stirred more than nostalgia. It rekindled purpose, pride, and passion.
FIDA Nigeria is not just looking back. We are leaning forward. Grounded in legacy and propelled by vision, we boldly step into the future.

A Night of Culture showcasing our rich heritage

Guests and members were thoroughly entertained by the rich heritage of the Kalabari people brought alive by the Ugo Awo dance troupe, and from that to the powerful storytelling through food and culture by Mrs. Gift Braide; the Cultural night was more than just a celebration, It was a communion of diverse heritage spanning across different Zones, from the South-South, South-East, South-West, to the North; each zone took the center stage, weaving their unique cultural identities into one shared tapestry of joy and unity.

The host branch, FIDA Rivers, lit up the room with a performance that stirred pride and joy….yes even lawyers can outshine with dance
