The appointment was made pursuant to the Notaries Public Act Cap. N141, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 and is one of the coveted ranks in the legal profession.
Only lawyers who have been admitted to the Nigerian Bar for at least seven years prior to the day of appointment and who scale through a very rigorous screening process to test their professional ability and integrity are appointed as Notaries Public.
