Wike’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, confirmed the development in a post on his official X handle, where he also shared photos and a video of the family.

“Happy Dad and Mum. FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, his wife, Justice Eberechi Suzzette Wike, with their son, Jordan, who is to be called to Bar today,” Olayinka wrote.

The Call to Bar ceremony, organised by the Body of Benchers, is a statutory event ushering successful law graduates into the legal profession in Nigeria. This year, thousands of candidates from the Nigerian Law School were formally admitted as barristers and solicitors of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
