ON the occasion of your birthday celebration and the public presentation of your remarkable 50 books, my wife, Lady Helen, and I extend our heartfelt congratulations to you, Professor Mike A.A. Ozekhome, SAN. We are deeply thankful to Almighty God for the gift of your life and for the immense blessing you have been to all those fortunate enough to know you closely.
Your selfless dedication to the promotion of the legal profession and the sacrifices you have made in advancing legal scholarship are nothing short of extraordinary. Earning a PhD in Law and sharing your vast knowledge as a Law Professor is a testament to your unwavering commitment to academic excellence and intellectual growth.
As a Learned Silk of exceptional distinction, you have, by your conduct, discipline, and professional rigor, elevated the prestige of the Inner Bar. You continue to be a beacon of hope and a source of profound inspiration to younger generations of legal practitioners.
Today, as we join your friends, family, and well-wishers in celebrating your outstanding accomplishments, we commend you to the maternal protection of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mediatrix of all Graces. We pray that she, in her boundless love, may continually envelop you in Her blue mantle and grant you many more years of good health—of mind, body, soul, and spirit.
Congratulations once again, dear brother. May the Lord continue to use you mightily for the good of the legal profession and beyond. Amen.
Distinguished Senator Rowland Sir & Lady Helen Owie
