While presenting the award which was received on his behalf by the Chairman of NBA Enugu Branch, Maikyau SAN said it was important for the Forum and its branches, to always attend to the welfare of elderly members of the Forum, particularly those who have distinguished themselves in the legal practice, and carved out a worthy pathway for others to follow.
In encouraging this culture, Y.C. Maikyau, SAN donated a sum of N500,000 ‘seed money’, to NBA Enugu Branch, to kickstart preparations for the celebration and honour of Chief A.O. Mogboh, SAN and other Elders of the Branch who have attained similar feats, as piloted by the Warri Branch of the NBA.

During the visit, Maikyau mentioned that he made the courtesy visit to connect with longevity, excellent spirit and integrity, which Chief Mogboh represents in the legal profession, and the entire country at large. He extolled the virtues of Chief Mogboh SAN and his contributions to the legal profession which are too numerous to mention.
