The Gombe State Commissioner for Special Duties, Mr Mela Audu Nunghe, has been raised to the position of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, (SAN), turning into the first indigene of the state to achieve the position.

He was among the 72 senior Attorneys raised to the renowned position of SAN by the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee, headed by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Muhammad Tanko, at the body’s 143rd general meeting.

Before his arrangement as magistrate in 2019, Mr Nunghe has gone through more than 35 years in common, criminal and corporate practice.

Gombe State governor, Mr Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, in a congratulatory message, attributed Mr Nunghe’s new feat to his outstanding pedigree, remarkable court craft, determination and dedication to the legal profession as well as his commitment to the pursuit of justice.

The governor’s spokesman, Ismaila Uba Misilli, in a statement, observed that the award was a mark of recognition for members of the legal profession who have distinguished themselves.

“With your elevation to the inner bar, you have written your name on the sands of history and joined the hall of fame as the first state indigene to have attained this exalted rank,” part of the statement reads.
