 Wike joins son’s call to bar procession in Abuja


The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday joined the Body of Benchers’ procession during the Call to Bar ceremony in Abuja.

His son, Jordan, was among the new lawyers formally admitted into the Nigerian Bar.

The minister was accompanied by his wife, Justice Eberechi Suzzette Wike, as the family celebrated the milestone.

Wike’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, confirmed the development in a post on his official X handle (formerly Twitter), where he also shared photos of the family.

“Happy Dad and Mum. FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, his wife, Justice Eberechi Suzzette Wike, with their son, Jordan, who is to be called to Bar today,” Olayinka wrote.

He also posted a video showing the minister taking part in the Body of Benchers’ procession.

Ahead of the ceremony, the Body of Benchers had on September 18 released the schedule for the issuance of invitation cards for aspirants slated to be called to the Bar between September 23 and 25, 2025.

According to a notice signed by Fatima Idris Ali on behalf of the Secretary of the Body of Benchers, the collection of invitation cards took place at the Body of Benchers Complex, No. 12, Y.C. Maikyau Crescent, Institute and Research District, behind the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Abuja.

The notice said the exercise, which began on Thursday, September 18, was exclusively for aspirants scheduled to be called to the Bar on September 23.

It added that each aspirant was required to present a Nigerian Law School identity card during the process.

The Call to Bar ceremony, organised by the Body of Benchers, is a statutory event that ushers successful law graduates into the legal profession in Nigeria.

This year, thousands of candidates who had completed their training at the Nigerian Law School across the country were formally admitted as barristers and solicitors of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
