Call to Bar: Wike, Wife Celebrate Son Jordan’s Achievement

Jordan Wike, son of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has officially been called to the Nigerian Bar, marking a major milestone in his legal journey. 

The call-to-bar ceremony took place on Tuesday at the Nigerian Law School in Abuja, where Jordan joined hundreds of other new lawyers in taking the professional oath and being formally inducted into the legal profession. For any law graduate, this occasion marks the culmination of years of rigorous study and training. For the Wike family, however, the event carried added significance, reflecting both personal pride and a continuation of the family’s commitment to public service and the law. 

A notable highlight of the day was Minister Wike’s participation in the traditional procession of the Body of Benchers, the elite legal body overseeing the call-to-bar. Clad in ceremonial attire, Wike walked alongside other senior legal professionals—a moment that underscored the dual role he played as both a public official and a proud father. 

Observers noted how Wike’s presence blended his personal and professional worlds, reinforcing the importance of legacy and service in Nigerian public life. 

The event was a joyous one for the Wike family. Photos shared online showed Jordan standing between his parents—Justice Eberechi Suzzette Wike and Nyesom Wike—capturing heartfelt family moments from the ceremony. Wike’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, shared the images with the caption “Happy Dad and Mum,” which quickly went viral across social media platforms. The public responded with warm reactions, recognizing both the personal significance for the family and the professional accomplishment for Jordan.
