Empowering Young Female Lawyers: FIDA Rivers’ Dynamic Mentorship Workshop Shines on International Women’s Day 2024
Celebrating International Women’s Day on March 8th, 2024, was truly special with a one-day mentorship training organized by FIDA Nigeria Rivers State Branch, in collaboration with the Hygreb Mentorship Project and the Young Lawyers Forum of the Nigeria Bar Association, Port Harcourt Branch.
Honored by the presence of esteemed past chairpersons, judges, and the executive members of NBA Port Harcourt branch, the event was a beacon of support for young female lawyers with 0-7 years of experience.
Kicking off with an inspiring opening remark by the convener of the Hygreb Mentorship Project, Hon. Justice Elsie N. Thompson, we delved into insightful sessions led by distinguished speakers. From Hon. Inime Aguma’s discourse on social welfare to Hon. Justice Margaret Opara’s invaluable insights on professionalism at the Bar, every moment was enriching.
A captivating panel discussion on mentorship featured luminaries from various legal realms, each sharing their expertise passionately. Moderated by the adept Irene Iniobong Pepple, it was a deep dive into the nuances of legal practice, from litigation to corporate law, and the delicate art of balancing life and career.
The interactive Q&A session that followed was enlightening, fostering engaging conversations between mentors and participants. We wrapped up with a heartfelt vote of thanks from the Chairperson of FIDA Rivers IWD Committee, Ms. Felicia NWoke, expressing gratitude for the enriching experience.
A huge thank you to all who made this event possible and to our participants for their enthusiastic involvement. Here’s to empowering the next generation of female legal luminaries!
