Plateau Attorney General Daffi Joins Inner Bar as SAN

On October 12, 2026, Philemon Audu Daffi, the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice of Plateau State, was admitted to the Inner Bar at the Supreme Court in Abuja by Chief Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun. He was among 68 new Senior Advocates of Nigeria, ranking ninth on the advocates’ seniority list.

The article reflects on the significance of this achievement, emphasizing that the SAN rank should represent more than just a title. Daffi's role as Attorney General is crucial, as he is responsible for ensuring that the law serves the public interest and protects the vulnerable, particularly in a state where legal disputes often intertwine with identity and community issues.

The Plateau State MultiDoor Courthouse, under Justice Nafisah Lawal Musa, aims to provide alternative dispute resolution methods to alleviate the burdens of litigation, highlighting the need for systemic change in the justice delivery process.
