Now, you have clearly shown that you are a man of your words. You will by this singular act be leaving a great legacy that will be perpetually celebrating – the NBA President who revolutionized the NBA to work for all, including lawyers with disabilities”.
Yusuf Iyodo Esq, The Director, Media and Publicity, ALDIN, in a press release said that ALDIN and its members are very much mindful of the enormous responsibility bestowed upon them through the inclusion of lawyers with disabilities in the organic structure of the noble Association and promised to do their utmost best in ensuring that the LWDF initiative becomes a worthy example of a success story.
