The member representing Jos South/ Jos East Federal Constituency of Plateau State in the National Assembly, Hon. Edward Pwajok, yesterday promised not to disappoint his constituency, vowing to be just and fair in dealing with the less privileged in the society.

Pwajok spoke while addressing his constituents in a mini-reception organised in his honour after his confirmation as Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN). He appreciated Senator Jonah Jang and late former Deputy Governor of Plateau State, Chief Michael Bot-Mang, for paving way for him to get to the exalted position in the law profession, adding that it was during their tenure that he applied for SAN.

The lawmaker, who served as the Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice I Plateau State during the administration of late Bot-Mang and Senator Jang, said he is the only SAN in the House of Representatives and pledged to use the position to serve Nigeria and Plateau State effectively. According to him, “In 2011, I applied for SAN and was invited, but my name was not published, I was told that my name was omitted, but I remained patient, though I was qualified. I had all the requirements.

The minimum requirement is six Supreme Court judgements, six Court of Appeal judgements and 10 High Court judgements before you can apply and I have more than that. “I was the only person who applied from Plateau State; many did not apply because they do not have the minimum requirement. I got the requirements because of the confidence that people have on me.”
