The Otu-okaiwu, Abuja Igba Boyi Endowment Launch received wide spectrum of support from notable members of the Nigerian Bar Association, including the President of the NBA, Mr. Yakubu C. Maikyau. I believe that this program has the potential to make a significant contribution to the development of the legal profession in Nigeria.
The Igba Boyi apprenticeship model is a unique and valuable way to transfer knowledge and skills from experienced lawyers to young lawyers. It is also a way to promote mentorship and career development for young lawyers. I am particularly impressed by the fact that the program is open to young lawyers of all backgrounds, not just Igbo lawyers.

On Thursday, September 14, 2023, the Otu Oka-Iwu Abuja (Igbo Lawyers Association) hosted the Igba Boyi Endowment Launch, which was attended by notable members of the Bar, including the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. Yakubu C. Maikyau, a former Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Prof. Sam Amadi, Chief Awa Kalu, SAN, Kanu Agabi ,SAN and Benbella Anachebe, SAN.

Other notable personalities present during the endowment, includes;

Senator Ben Obi
Attorney general of Abia state
MAZI AFAM OSIGWE
Chief Ikechukwu Ezechukwu
Emeka Obegolu
FIDA Chairperson
Onyi of onyi

The program was designed to promote mentorship and career development for young lawyers, and to replicate the success of Ndigbo in business within the legal profession.

Prof. Sam Amadi, in his keynote address, called for the scrapping of the Nigerian Law School, stressing that it no longer serves any purpose. He described the Nigerian legal system as one of the most corrupt in the world, and argued that the law school is a waste of time and resources.

NBA President Maikyau, on the other hand, declared NBA's support for the apprenticeship scheme, and assured that the scheme would be expanded to become a national mentorship policy of the federal government. He, however, appealed that the scheme should not be limited to only Igbo lawyers.

Chief Agabi, SAN, who made a donation of N15 million in support of the project, expressed concern over the loss of ethics and values in the legal profession. He noted that "hot money is a problem in our profession today," and charged lawyers to "beware of the source of the money you bring home."
The initiator of the project and President of Otu Oka-Iwu, Abuja Chapter, Chief Ejiofor Onwuaso, said the endowment fund is a legacy project aimed at replicating the success of Ndigbo in business within the legal profession by institutionalizing mentorship and career development for young lawyers.

The selection process for the mentorship program is open to young lawyers with one to five years experience.
