‘Global leaders in law award means more than SAN to me’
The 2021 “Global Leaders in law award as legislative drafting lawyer” recipient, Dr. Tonye Clinton Jaja has said that the honour means more to him than the SAN award, which is localised to Nigeria.

“They come to the conclusion that I am the winner of the 2021 Legislative Drafting and Law Reform lawyer in Nigeria. This is the pinnacle of my career progression in the legal profession in the area of Legislative Drafting and Law Reform.”
The UK based law firm, LEADERS IN LAW, endowed the award.
Dr. Jaja is a law lecturer at the National Institute for Legislative Studies, Abuja.
He holds a PhD in law (Legislative Drafting) degree from the University of London. He was the former Chairman of the Governing Board of the Nigerian Copyright Commission.
