Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the top jurist said this in Abuja on Saturday while giving her speech during the 2024 Clarity Conference, which had as its theme ‘The Constellation: Gathering of Stars, By Stars and For Stars’.
Justice Segun-Bello , who gave a keynote speech at the event , disclosed that becoming a federal high court judge was not easy but noted that determination is key to her success.
‘You may come from a poverty-stricken background. That is a powerful condition, but you must have the will to rise above it.
If I tell you where I come from, two things will happen: you will either think I’m lying or start crying. And remember, I’m not just a state judge; I’m a federal judge. To become a federal judge, you need the backing of the presidency or support from a political party. I had neither. This goes to show that principles, when applied universally, can make anything possible’ she said.
‘We organized the Clarity Conference to guide young people from the ideation phase to implementation.
Many people struggle with feelings of inadequacy due to their early environment and the exposure they had during school years’ the convener of the conference, Atuzie Tuzzi, also submitted while talking about the reasons for organizing the event-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
