By Comr. Uchenna Umez

Published on January 10, 2026

On 15th and 16th December, 2025, Comrade Uchenna Umez successfully delivered a high-level capacity development programme for senior support staff of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, reinforcing its commitment to leadership development, institutional efficiency, and governance reform.
The Chairman of the Advisory Board of HURRAFORUM, Prof. Maxwell Gidado, SAN, OON, was originally scheduled to personally facilitate the training as organized by Winman Nigeria Limited, headed by Dr. Godwin Orovwiroro. However, owing to unavoidable and competing national assignments, he formally delegated the responsibility to HURRAFORUM’s National Coordinator, Comrade Uchenna Umez, to represent him.
Comrade Umez discharged the assignment with distinction, delivering intellectually engaging and practically relevant sessions that were well received by the participants. The programme attracted over 60 senior support staff of the Supreme Court, whose active participation and feedback underscored the value and impact of the engagement. The successful delivery of the sessions also earned the commendation of the Chairman of the Advisory Board.
