Nehemiah Danjuma has joined the ranks of Nigeria’s newest legal practitioners after being called to the Bar, achieving what he described as a historic milestone as the first deaf lawyer from Northern Nigeria.

Danjuma, who hails from Jaba, Kaduna State, studied Common Law and graduated with a second class upper at the University of Ilorin before proceeding to the Abuja Campus of the Nigerian Law School for his Bar Part II programme, celebrated the achievement in a post on X, where he identified himself as a deaf lawyer.

“First Deaf Lawyer from Northern Nigeria. Called to the Bar. History made,” he wrote.
