It is with profound respect and admiration that the African Women Lawyers Association (AWLA) honor the illustrious career of Hon. Justice Nkemdilim Izuako, a trailblazer in African legal history whose contributions have left an indelible mark on the judiciary and beyond. Throughout her distinguished tenure, Justice Izuako exemplified unwavering commitment to the rule of law, fairness, and justice.
Her judicial acumen, evident in her roles within Nigeria, The Gambia, and the Solomon Islands, was characterized by fairness, wisdom, and an unshakeable adherence to legal principles. Notably, her tenure as a judge in various international jurisdictions, including her historic appointments as the first female judge in The Gambia and the Solomon Islands, underscores her status as a pioneer and exemplar of excellence.
Justice Izuako’s impact extended far beyond the courtroom. Her collaboration with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime on judicial ethics and her role in developing the Judicial Ethics Training Manual for the Nigerian judiciary demonstrate her dedication to enhancing the integrity of the legal profession. Her service as a judge of the United Nations Dispute Tribunal further exemplifies her commitment to upholding justice on a global scale.
Moreover, her contributions to social development, particularly through initiatives aimed at empowering women and girls, reflect her profound compassion and commitment to societal advancement. The Honiara Women’s Initiative, which she helped mobilize, stands as a testament to her enduring legacy in promoting gender equality and social justice.
In recognition of her extraordinary sacrifices and contributions to humanity, the African Women Lawyers Association (AWLA) is honored to bestow upon Justice Izuako the prestigious award of Lifetime Membership on August 29, 2025. This tribute is a fitting acknowledgment of her dedication to the pursuit of justice and her unwavering commitment to the empowerment of women and girls.
Justice Izuako’s legacy serves as a powerful inspiration for current and future generations of legal professionals, reminding us of the transformative impact of integrity, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to justice. Her life’s work will undoubtedly continue to illuminate the path for those who follow in her footsteps.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
