Barrister Sani Garba Gwale: Advocating for Justice, Ethics, and Technology Reform

Principled advocate, civic educator, and values-driven legal practitioner, Barrister Sani Garba Gwale champions ethical innovation, public enlightenment, and community-rooted justice in Nigeria’s legal profession.

By OlexDaily Magazine Desk

Barr. Sani Garba Gwale featured prominently among the distinguished Kano delegation to the 2025 National Conference of the Muslim Lawyers’ Association of Nigeria (MULAN), held in Ilorin. A firm believer in justice through values-based legal reform, he attended every plenary session and actively engaged in discussions on cutting-edge topics including artificial intelligence, Sharia law, cryptocurrency, and digital ethics.

Though he did not deliver a formal paper, his intellectual presence at the conference was unmistakable. Gwale made notable contributions to the policy-shaping dialogue around AI in Nigeria, consistently advocating for its ethical adoption, rooted in Islamic principles and community-centered justice. His interventions, particularly during sessions led by Prof. AbdulRazaq Alaro and Prof. Yusuf Ali, SAN, resonated with delegates seeking a moral framework for regulating emerging technologies.

“This theme challenges us to think deeper about the intersection of innovation and values. As legal practitioners, we must ensure AI works for justice, not just within the law. Our faith must guide our practice.”

— Barrister Sani Garba Gwale

Conference Reflection

For Gwale, the conference theme — “Artificial Intelligence, Law, and Religion in Nigeria”— struck at the heart of contemporary legal and ethical debates. He views the ongoing technological revolution as a test of legal systems’ ability to preserve justice and morality amid innovation.

“The law must remain a moral compass in a changing world. Muslim lawyers must stand at the forefront of tech ethics, justice reform, and public enlightenment.”

— Barrister Sani Garba Gwale

Communtiy Engagement

Inspired by the injustices he witnessed while growing up, Barrister Gwale chose the legal profession as a means to protect rights and foster hope. Over the years, he has built a reputation as a civic educator and courtroom advocate committed to public interest law.

His most fulfilling career moments, he notes, include providing pro bono services to indigent clients and creating civic legal content through Olex Media Ltd —  platforms that offer legal awareness and empower communities through accessible knowledge.

“Providing pro bono services to indigent clients and creating civic legal content through Olex Media Ltd has been my most rewarding work.”

Advice to Young Lawyers

To young Muslim lawyers navigating a challenging profession, his advice is clear and uncompromising:

“Let your faith guide your ambition. Stay committed to service, ethics, and truth — even when it’s not popular.”

He emphasises that true success in legal advocacy lies in sincerity, service to humanity, and steadfastness in upholding justice.

Message to Legal Community

Barrister Gwale calls on the broader Nigerian legal profession to embrace its duty as both regulator and moral guide in an increasingly digital society. He advocates for a coordinated, faith-conscious approach to legal technology reforms, placing justice, ethics, and community well-being above commercial interests.
