Enugu – Peter Ndubuisi Mbah has congratulated the Honourable Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice of Enugu State, Dr. Kingsley T. Udeh, SAN, following his well-earned admission to the Inner Bar, describing it as a milestone not only for personal achievement but also for the advancement of justice and institutional reform in the state.
In his statement, Mbah highlighted Dr. Udeh’s transformative work in the justice sector, noting that his leadership has led to the digitization of court records and automation of court processes, including filings, cause lists, and case-tracking dashboards. These initiatives, he said, ensure that legal matters move faster and justice reaches citizens promptly.
Legal practitioners and civil society groups have welcomed the development as a step toward modernizing the administration of justice in Enugu. Chief Barrister Ifeanyi Eze, a senior advocate and longtime colleague of Dr. Udeh, observed, “His elevation is a reflection of years of diligence, discipline, and innovation in the justice sector. The digitization and automation reforms are already reducing delays and improving transparency across our courts.”
Residents have also expressed optimism that the reforms under Dr. Udeh’s tenure will continue to strengthen the state’s judicial system. Nkechi Okafor, a civil society activist, noted, “It is encouraging to see our Attorney General recognized at the national level. The work he has done to make justice more accessible is already benefiting ordinary citizens, and this elevation only affirms his dedication.”
Mbah further praised Dr. Udeh’s integrity, intellectual rigor, and meticulous work ethic, calling them a model for public service and a benchmark for the next generation of lawyers. “Enugu is proud of you. I am proud of you. Keep pressing forward in service to our state and nation with distinction,” Mbah said, emphasizing that Dr. Udeh’s achievements have not only modernized the justice system but also enhanced public trust.
Observers note that Dr. Udeh’s elevation to the Inner Bar is particularly significant given Nigeria’s ongoing efforts to modernize its judiciary and improve the efficiency of legal processes. Experts believe that his reforms could serve as a blueprint for other states, especially in leveraging technology to streamline case management and reduce court congestion.
The Attorney General, widely regarded for his commitment to justice and reform, has also been credited with driving initiatives aimed at institutional accountability and public engagement. By ensuring that court processes are transparent and accessible, he has bridged gaps between the legal system and ordinary citizens, promoting a culture of trust and efficiency.
As Enugu State celebrates the elevation of one of its foremost legal minds, the consensus among both the legal community and the public is that Dr. Udeh’s recognition will inspire further innovations in justice delivery, cementing his role as a transformative figure in Nigeria’s legal landscape.
